Default New best at the track

Got 2 runs in at the track tonight in Orlando. SO many people came out; it sucked. Still working the bugs out of the launch (still spinning a bit).

60' 2.233
330 6.061
1/8 9.175
MPH 79.99
1000 11.849
1/4 14.094
MPH 100.73

I was very surprised at the time since I didn't "feel" that it was a good run. I knew it was good once the "winner" sign came on and I was doing 104. Not too shabby for my 9th run ever.

Need to work on that 60' for a solid 13. How's your launch?

The launch was nothing impressive. It made me think I was going to get a mid 14 run. The best 60' ever was a 2.08. This time I had some wheel spin. Launched at about 2500. In a few weeks I may start the bracket racing just to see what I can run since they put traction compound all over the track. I've had my shoe ripped off my foot at the starting line before.

yeah but SF's are usually packed and really the best thing to do there is to watch the NO Bull race which is killer. once you guys get solid 13's just bring a helmet and run lanes 1/2, i have done that for a long time. same amount of runs but you arent married to your car for over an hour at a time

Congratulators. You’re out there racing: that’s what counts. There’s nothing more exhilarating than when the light turns green. Good show.
