well I did ok... I had some brand new hoosier's but for some reason they werent doing their job...?

first run I did one mean *** burnout and I mean a BIG burnout, I had rubber all over the side of my truck including the hood and the top of the cab!!!

and i got a whoopin 13.7 with a 2.4 60ft

then the next 2 runs I managed a 12.8 @ 104 with 1.8x 60ft, still not good!!

then the 4th run I ran a 12.77 @ 104 with a 1.77 60ft....

all the above runs were spinning the tires??

and then the last run was the more decent one... and this one actually hooked?

1.75 60ft
7.988 1/8
85.75mph
12.63 1/4
105.6mph

so I got my mph back but still the 60ft just aint cutting it!! on my last run the temp was 68F and 85%humidity and that was about 10:40pm...

oh, and my **** is still overheating, when I would do the burnout my temp would jump to 210F and then when I crossed the traps my temp would be 220F? wtf? Im tired of messing with this ****.!! maybe that is an issue on the 60ft? maybe its pulling timing with that temp that high?

I guess I cant really compare times cause when I used to run the 12.5's in was in real perfect weather... but that was my goal for tonight to atleast manage a 12.6x, I dont know I still think that if I can get my 60ft back I can manage a 12.4 this season...

by the way HRP was packed and a whole lot of people showed up, so I'll let them post up there times. and I believe quite few of them broke some records... and stewart is one of them, his truck is running damn good...

 

Nice times...get those tires in a grove and the overheating issue fixed and you'll be where you need to be.

 

12.87@105.xx. on teh burnt up 26" et streets. finally got new et streets on and one went flat on me in the damn staging lanestried to drive to the air and the tire almost came off of the rim haha. i had 12.79 in me for sure tonight but too many unfortunate events wouldnt let me.FRIDAY NIGHTS SUCK DIAREHA ***.

 

I went the same exact et Stew on a 2.03 60ft and 109.6 trap

 

i agree on the hight temps would be causing the engine to pull timing. but if it were doing that then i don't see how you were still spinning when you said you were. and i was just about to look into getting some tires like that

 

stew, it might have been a bad valve stem on the rim.
same thing happened to my friend when he went to the track to test out a brand new set of e/t streets.

 

ya cause you sprayed a playa!

 

It was a hell of a turnout last night. Good Times.

AP was really doing some serious burnouts out there, I can't believe that he was still spinning, but he was.

Did Charlie ever get to make a run, he was still in the staging lanes when I had to leave.

 

yeah kind of weird huh? on the 12.8 & 12.7 run I could feel it spin then it'll just grab like a **** and you could actually feel it just jump out quick? dont get me wrong I still have faith on these tires, they are the exact same what i had before so I know the potential is there, they were quite a few of people having spinning issues too, so it might of been the track?

 

lol... seems like I got a witness... lol... staging lanes were horrible, I left @ 11:15pm and charlie was still in the staging lanes!! glad you made it over curtis to bullshit with us...

by the way, curtis was getting a woody seeing all those diesels running last night!! lol...
