Default Been a while! New PB!!

Been a long time since i've been on here, my bad fellas! But anyways I went out to the track for the first time this year after some off season changes. I did front suspension(tubular k/a arms, strange struts, coil overs, etc), Added longtubes and switched out my 275/60 m/t radial pro's for a set of 28x10.5 et drags. My god how it helped my 60'! Previous best 60 was a 1.62, best today was a 1.42 and track prep didn't seem all that great. Averaged mid 1.4's all day. My et dropped to a new best of 10.25 but my mph also dropped quite a bit. Not sure why other than how much better of a 60 I did so it really dropped tire speed. Also pulled the left front . Here's a vid of mine, and a vid I took of a couple buddies. The blue turbo car went 10.24, I went 10.25, and our other buddies whipple car went 10.26. What are the odds haha. Enjoy!

Clearly see that front tire leave the ground! That's a huge gain in 60', guess those changes were just what it needed. Did that 1.4 catch you off guard at all?

Yes I was not expecting that much of an improvement. I went in just hoping for a 1.5, my first pass leaving just revving it to 3500 was a 1.52. So after that set the 2step to 4k and tried it and boom, 1.4's the rest of the day. Very happy!

Nice job Colin! Dont forget we still need to do our roll run....but you need to switch back to those 18's, cause it would not be fair for you to have all the traction lol
