13.7 in AZ is awesome

If AZ is as hot as everybody tells me it is, 13.7 is damn good.

Thanks guys. I was very happy to get the 13.7 - everyone here has much slower times than on the east coast. Maybe one day I'll have an excuse to make a trip to Florida or something but for now I'll have to live with what I've got here.

Great run! Excellent trap speeds. 13.5 is possible with a 2.0 60ft and good shifting.

Congrats.

So I didnt hit the 13.5 like I wanted but I got down to 13.71 and trapped 107 but this was with a sh!tty 2.43 60 ft!!!! That being said the car has alot more in it but I need to really improve the driver launch mod. My shifts IMO are spot on. If I can get my launch right and still trap that high I def should see low 13s but thats easier said than done. I also realized after racing today (thanks DAVIDV) that I raced all day with 40 psi in one tire and 36 in another. dee-dee-dee! crappy exxon tire gauge. lol

Always check pressure throughout the night if you can. I've noticed my tires fluctuate a psi or so on each side just from temps in the tires....try not to lower the pressures if you can, but its good to know what the tires are doing.

Those times are promising, with better driving you'll be running the same or better times as Veetec and myself.
