With your supercharger you should be in the low 13s with no problem.

I am, (13.1xx all day long) but if it didn't miss, it would be quicker. ZCG is going put a data logger on board next time I run it.

I don't give a chit about trap speed. That isn't the kind of drag racing I do, but I can turn some really low trap speeds. The 13.1 time slips are actually WOT all the way down. Note the one from the time trials at 6:21. That VW bug turned 12.5/105 mph, because he hooked up. See the 60'.

I'm#22 and was running 19x35 street tires.

Here are some slips from the other night. I only do what I have to to win.

The guy mouthing off had a ~0.5 RT? Was he on the phone when he staged?

I finally got the Z out for a bit on Saturday for the ZONC show. It felt good. Hope to see you up at the drags soon. It looks like the temps haven't been so bad, eh?

Yeah, that was him. In the competition I told Don (the guy with the Syclone to take his time at the line since this guy was slow........and he did and the dude in the VW did a .6xx that time and lost by his slow R/T hehe)
It was windy as hell for the first couple hours then settled down and the conditions were great. I should have run with my DR's.ob is going to datalog my Z to find out what the studder is.

I have about five last 4 cars and one last 2 cars (runnerup), but I don't know if I can find anything except the trophies and they have no date on them. I also have a bunch of .00x r/t slips.
