Year? Trim level? Weather conditions? Post up the slip so we can see the intervals.

Welcome!

Yours is on the left? I have seen some fast traps from sac in some other threads. Picking up 24mph in the second 1/8th is pretty unheard off. None the less props for busting your track cherry.

The car runs like gangbusters picking up 23.8 MPH in the second 660 feet! I look forward to seeing a 2.0 second 60 foot time.

Sac is a faster track.

Any new tires will be better than old, bald tires. You shouldn't be spinning in 2nd, let alone 3rd. You need to work on your clutch engagement if you are SPINNING 3rd.

There are many good tire options, all depends on your pros/cons.

Was your passenger holding the camera? It looked like it, and if so, big no-no. What was your 60' on that run? I'd think most Zs would easily run under 14s, especially at Sac.

The website says they're open every Saturday for test tune and then on New Years. Canceled?

I use to go there every Wednesday in the 90's.

Doesn't sound right. 23 mph back half and a 2.2 60'? ***** really unheard of. Good driving I guess?

13.9 @ 105.4mph with only an exhaust on a DE?

The correct slip would be the one on the right. Possible mistake as to what lane you were in?

Even for a fast track 103mph+ for a nearly stock DE is crazy fast.

How many times did you run and what were your other trap speeds?

2nd. I don't go to Sac often, but when I do, one can get 20 runs in easily.
