Default track tonight

Ok, I got in 4 runs tonight at Holiday Beach! I'm pretty happy with the results I guess, I went down a 1/10th each time.
First run
RT.533
60ft 2.013
594ft 8.082
1/8th 8.624
MPH 83.04

Second Run
RT .589
1.973
594 ft 7.981
1/8th 8.516
MPH 84.11

Third Run
RT .543
60 ft 1.904
594 ft 7.932
1/8th 8.476
MPH 82.72

Fourth Run
RT .650
60ft 1.901
594ft 7.789
1/8th 8.315
MPH 85.71

I was pretty happy, what do you guys think? I'm hoping to go to the 1/4 on Sunday what should I hope for.
The burnout area was so small that you had to cut the wheel really hard and I could never get straight. Everytime I was doing my burnout I would get sideways and have to get out of it, so I was only burning out for about 2 seconds tops. I'm thinking if I can get a good burnout I could hope for 1.8 60's consistently.
Opinions?

its not to bad... trap is low a mph or 2... lower the 60' some to get faster... some suspension and you have 7;s

Looks good to me, I was only able to trap like 86 or so MPH. Hell, I only went 1.9x with the suspension and drag radails too....

Should be good for a mid/high 12 run.

If I don't hit 12's this weekend then I'm gonna die. I'm hoping by the end of the summer I can have a full suspension and be in the high 11's on slicks!

Are you still running 8 PSI? You should do a power pipe, you should pick up another 10-20 WHP from that.
