Default First track trip of the year 11.3@121.14

My car was 110lbs heavier tonight, I left the front sway bar on, didn't even do a burnout or drop tire pressure (32psi), and the DA was a decent amount higher than last years 11.1 pass. Still managed 11.3@121.14. DA tonight was 562.

Last years for comparison...

Tonight left lane...

Thanks. Yeah if I try for a 10slip I will take the weight back out, take front sway bar back off, pump fronts to max psi, put the MT DRs at 18-20psi, and I would want to see a -500 DA. Maybe even get Hoosiers again for the rear. I love those. 7lbs lighter a piece vs the MTs. Big difference

Thanks. Yeah still stock 10 bolt but it got 3.73 last summer. They are pretty loud at times though. 121k on the trans, 10 bolt, motor. Still does pretty well.

Thanks guys. I'm trying to figure if it will be worth it to try for a 10.9 this year. Take the weight back out, swaybar off, drop tire pressure and do a burnout this time. I should have 2 shots to break 10s before they give me the boot for no roll bar so its kind of a pita to get this done lol.

Thats pretty good. Wish we had that da right now. Still have to wait a while. With the weight out and a 1.5x 60ft you'll break into the 10s. I need to get my car back out this year and see what i can squeeze out of it.

No doubt man thanks. Best 60' so far is in sig. Never been able to knock off a 1.5. It would be nice

How could it not be worth a shot? lol

Yeah I know man. Its just a long drive for me and the DA has to be -1000 for me to like the chances. Also I have to do it in less than 2 passes before I get the boot lol

I need a hoosier set up like yours. Just the tires would be a big help. I know the hoosiers I used to run are 7lbs lighter a piece than these mts.

Not bad for not having it setup optimally for drag racing/beating your old time.

That's what I thought too. I went through tech and they asked what I would be running 12s-13s? I said YUP!
I pulled up first in line and ripped the 11.3. I think it was too early for them to figure it out because I wasn't flagged down for no roll bar lol.

I think you are right about needing that DA. I'm right where you are, have also been 11.1 but even so, that ten seems to be miles away. Would take the perfect run. Still, a low 11 sec car is a stout ride.
