Looks like the left lane was prepped with Crisco. Good job putting it on the bumper! Looks cool, but is going to cost a ton!!

Damn, that sucks. And I agree with the first response. That left lane looked downright scary as hell. Funny that the winner took it in the left lane, though.

The winner didn't take it in the left lane. I won that race. I got back in it and ran a 6.01. He ran a 6.9. I got runner up to the bi run in the finals. I couldn't make the call for the finals. I was already on the trailer when he went down the track for the final win on motor. LOL

No Wheelie bars = QA1 shocks and Madman Travel limiters.

We have AFCO double adjustables in the front, Strange single adjustables in the rear, our own travel limiters and Madman SYA bars. It runs right on the edge all the time, it either cuts a great 60ft or drags the bumper one of the 2. We have the lowest 60ft time in our class with a 1.27 and we've cut numerous 1.28, 1.29 and 1.30 60's.

Your setup is on a tear, 5.5x anything in the 1/8th is moving on that tire for sure.

I need to get more agressive with my junk, after standing it up this past spring I have been airing on the side of caution, too much so.

Several of the guys in our class have run a 5.4X this year so it's time for us to step it up next year. Looking to run a 5.2 or better.
