Scratch that op post the entire slip. I'm looking at my 14.1 slip and we need to get your **** into 13's asap. Your doing something wrong or slow at the 330'. Here's my slip.

2.234

6.102

9.209
79.37

11.863

14.115
100.55
Ok. So you're going by the .1s off the 60' gives .2s off the 1/4 mile rule. I've heard that before, but haven't seen that linear relationship to be true in actual application. I've seen more like .1 --> .15 or so. Regardless - like you said - his times are all over the map, so it's hard to estimate what he and the car could do without some more consistency.

I can show you once I get home I have a perfect example from the same night I ran my 13.9 run but don't have the slips on me. Also it's a roundup to .2. Actually I do remember my 13.9 slip a little. Something very close to.

2.157

330' IDK

9.066
79.88

1000' IDK

13.97x
100.xx

I see a competition round above. 14.16 seconds with a 14.20 dial in. You broke-out buddy!

BTW how do you like bracket racing?

You are eliminated if you go too fast. It is a little confusing.

Ah I see where the problem is. Upon further review your shifting is what is getting you. Compare my 14.1 slip to your last 14.1. Your 60' was quicker, your 330' was quicker, but my 8th was quicker, and trap was lower but I caught you and finished quicker but still trapped lower.

How are you shifting? Me I was WOT shifting every shift.

like i said on the 5th and 6th time slip when i shifted into second gear my tires were spinning for a good 1.5 sec.

If you bracket race you probably want to pick one lane to run all night.

It sounds as if you were with those crazy ZCG guys That wind is nothing compared to the usual wind. It gets so windy there that they go to 1/8 mile some nights....and it can blow your hood off.
Sac Raceway is probably a good 2/10's faster than Infineon/Sonoma.

Sac does drags on Saturdays also. If you go back for a bracket event, you'll need to work on your RT. It looks like you can dial 14.1 and be pretty competitive, but the 1/2s you are sleeping at the line is going to kill you.
