Made some Mach 1 passes on DRs
Last trip out I had her running 13.5-13.6s at 105-106mph on 2.1 60s. Tossed some 555R drag radials on her and returned. Not sure I believe the tracks equipment though. I was leaving at close to 5k rpm, slipping the clutch to keep it from bogging and dead hooking. Still showed me 2.0 60s! I've pulled a lot of 2.0s and I've pulled 1.6s. Those launches didn't act like any 2.0 to me. ETs came out to 13.0 at 107.x. The real proof their equipment was off is when a civic passed me at the end of the track like I was standing still, yet the slip said he was going 1mph faster than me. I asked the guy and he said he was running 120mph crossing the line. Anyway, I'm still half a second faster I guess lol.

He was on street tires, did a 2.3 and absolutely blew my doors off at the end of the track. His slip said he was trapping 1mph more than me lol. He said he crossed at 120. I was leaving at 5k and having to ride the clutch to keep from bogging. Those tires were dead hooking man. Looks like I need a gear bad.

I also ran the 555R's and at lowest i think they were either 18 or 20 psi, and had several 1.9 and like three or four 1.8x's with the 99. Are.you doing a long burn out of about five seconds? First or second gear? How old are those nittos? Mine have to be like 6+ years old now and i doubt they will hook as well.

I was riding the clutch out for that first 20 feet or so then basically jumping off it. That's probably what killed my 60' (staying on the clutch too long). Running the max psi in the tires, they have maybe 3k miles on them. Getting a good 3-5 second burnout. The problem wasn't them not hooking, but that they were hooking and bogging the car down bad. Gears will fix that, but I'd love to figure out a way to get it to launch harder than I was before I do that. I never tried dumping the clutch, or leaving from a lower rpm. Might should have.
99, I pulled some high 1.6s on 555Rs in my SS. The potential is there once you get that intial bite.
