.7160 60 Ft in my Z!!?!?
I went to the drag strip today for the first time in about 2 months. My best run to date is 11.8 @ 123 which was with my stock Open diff. I installed a VLSD over the weekend and decided to go to the track and see if i could improve on my 60. ft. This was one of my runs.
.7160 60 ft
7.1750 1/8 @ 93.44
11.4128 1/4 @ 112.20
Notice My Trap speeds we ver low. had I Headed towards the wall at the start and let out quite a bit so it was a **** run. I was runing 11 PSI in my Drag Radials. Anyone ever had this happen with the such a Low Unrealistic 60 ft? Maybe my back tires triggered the sensor?

Impossible, dragsters dont even 60 foot that fast. The record for a 60 foot in a top fuel dragster is .853. Something on the track must have been wrong.
not that i take anything away from the quarter, thats a stout time, though you do have a very fast car.

I have the coolest time slip. It says I ran 8.8!!! Of course, it was a problem with the sensors, but the guy at the staging lane gave me ****. He told me I had to leave b/c she saw me run too fast. I was like, WTH (I didn't look at my slips until the end of that night). He said he saw me run 8 seconds and I was like, yeah right. He said he was joking, the sensor was messed up. I still have the slip though!

yea just a timing error. happends a lot. Could be something as simple as a leaf blowing threw the lights.
But 11psi sounds pretty low for drag radials...most say don't go lower than 12psi....what radials you running?

Yeah 11 was to low i made only 3 runs befor a corvette zo6 Blew its rear end rofl. My bets run was a 11.8xx with a 1.9 60 ft @ 122 Mph. Im not happy with my 60 ft at all.. i lowered the tire presser for the last two runs becaues y 60 ft still wasnt where i thought it should be.. ( i was running 1.98 with Open diff) IM running Gforce TA drag radials Not sure the size ill check when i get home. But my 2nd run ( on 11 PSI Tire) it got squirly and went towards the wall. and my last run was that crazy ******** with a .7 60 ft rofl. But yeah im defently going back i wanted to get alot more than 3 runs in but it was PACKED and they closed at 5 so i didnt get any runs in at all. ( got there at 2:30) But ill defently go back when i get the chance.. probly be awile since my fiancee is due with our child in 6 days. kinda why im upset i reallly wanted to get a good 60 ft and break into mid to low 11's befor she came but ill just have to do it later i supose=-P
