Default Broke 12s!!

60ft---------------1.72
1/8 et-------------8.0057
1/8 mph-----------87.06
1/4 et-------------12.71
1/4 mph-----------99.4
I let out once in 3rd gear b/c the rear started coming around bad on me. Then I put the breaks on when I hit 4th b/c the rear felt like it was coming around even more and I felt like I was about to lose control.

Backed it up with 2 12.8s

60ft---------------1.77
1/8 et-------------8.21
1/8 mph-----------85.10
1/4 et-------------12.84
1/4 mph-----------107.04

60ft---------------1.79
1/8 et-------------8.22
1/8 mph-----------84.44
1/4 et-------------12.87
1/4 mph-----------100.76
I started drifting towards the wall so I let out.


For ****s and giggles on street tires
60ft---------------2.17
1/8 et-------------8.70
1/8 mph-----------85.81
1/4 et-------------13.26
1/4 mph-----------108.67

The last time I was at this track it was a 13.08. My last track trip to date was a 13.06 and then a 13.02 @ 104. This was the first time I have been to a track and raced with cold weather (it was in the 30s or low 40s).

I am running bias plys. They have a little sway in them when you start going faster b/c the sidewalls arent stiff like a street tire. To add to that the wind was blowing kind of from the side and I think that just helped push my rear end out some more. Also the track isnt a very wide track so I was close to the wall to begin with.

cold weather explains it.. what was your DA? (I can figure it for you if you give me date/time/location) cold weather makes traction worse but more HP so double whammy
