New Best 60' = 1.662!
I went to Irwindale last night and did 8 runs, 5 in the 7's and 3 I couldn't hit 2nd gear (that's been happening a lot lately....)
Anyway, best run was a 7.79 with a 1.662 60' at 90 mph.
I'm very happy about the 60' foot but what I don't get is that I hit 7.77 with a 1.805 60' in the past...why is my ET not getting better?
I don't have the mid numbers on me but all are better than the prior run except my mph is going lower which comes with the better 60' but still I'd expect to get better et's. It was hot as hell as well

For whatever reason, weather, gas, your power must have been been off a little.
Great 60 foot though!
I had my best stock 60' when my power was off a little, or I would have run a 13.5.
I blamed it on the gas, as it felt a little off after filling up, prior to the track.

Wow that is a great launch, congrats. Maybe you shifted at different points on this run compared to before, or you just shifted a tad slower than you have before. BTW do you have an in-car vid of that launch I would love to see it from the drivers seat.....

thanks.
No video, I gave my camera to a buddy of mine since a friend of his in his 7 second supra was going to come and race me but when he found out I'm "only" doing 7.7's he thought I was not worthy....needles to say his best run was a 8.2
who's not worthy now....
The only videos I got from that night were from the outside and these were the 3 runs I couldn't hit 2nd

There's so much more to hit 10's than a good 60 foot. You need a LOT of power.

I wish...
I've been there so many times saying: hey look at that guy he hit low 11's at 118...I can do that...but it never quite works that way
once you get proper rear wheels (et streets or at least dr's) you should hit low to mid 11's depending on the track you're at.
No matter what I hope you reach your goal (it's my goal as well...) makes us all look good.
Just get yourself some traction damn it
