Default first time ever to the strip

fun as hell and 1/4 of my new tires are gone lol



1st run:R/T .582:60ft 2.137: 1/4 14.031:MPH 100.21
2nd run:R/T .454:60ft 2.120: 1/4 14.186: MPH 98.11
3rd run:R/T .162:60ft 2.148: 1/4 14.235: MPH 98.54

im happy for my first run ever, i dunno why i was going slower on my later passes.

yea id also like to know your 60' times??? seems like your 60' is probaly a 2.2 or so, id say if you get that down to a 1.8 or 1.9 youd be in business. good runs tho

It has to do w/ physics. VE and the fact that heat is the enemy of horse power.

The condition of the track usually goes down hill as the night goes on as well. My first run ever was the fastest I had that night too.

Why did u waste so much tire? Radial tires don't need to be heated up. u should have gone arround the water box and did a baby burnout to clean off the treads. Now if u were running slicks or DR's thats another story.

my runs are a hair slower in the heat of the day, and get maybe a smidgen faster as the night goes on. i think that was more driver error than anything.

Judging from your MPH, I would guess that other than exhaust mods, you might have an intake or something of the sort..but nothing beyond that.

If your 60's are in the 2.2 range, that's awesome considering everything else.

DR's *or practice* can bring those down to the 2.0 range,

and DR's AND practice can get them even lower.

But until you post the 60's, we can't really tell where you stand.
