9's on 17" Drag Radials This is about the best I can do on the 17's. Any more boost and the tires breal loose right after launch causing me to peddle out of it and back in. Maybe better weight trabsfer would help.

November 7th? Hmmm...interesting. That's a long way to travel just to potentially see snow on the track. 5 hours for me to get there. Basically the same weather as we have in the Chicago area right?

Also going to try launch mode on the boost controller. I can step up my boost 1 psi at a time until she won't hook anymore then back it off a notch. Once it's launched it defaults back to the stage 1 boost setting which was set to 17PSI on my 9.7 run. I may try 19 or 20PSI and see if the tire holds down the track. Maybe a ramp function also would help.
Clearly though my 60ft needs to be much better to make any real strides toward a better ET.

Ok updated numbers. Ran my best run today at Byron:
I ran 9.507 at 149.3 MPH with a 1.594 60ft.
I also ran a personal best for MPH at the end of the 1/4 of 150.77
This was at 17 PSI of boost. At Cordova this Saturday coming up I'm going to turn up the wick to 19 or 20PSI and see what she runs. I'm coming out on more and more boost on the launch.
On one run I felt like the car brought the wheels up but I'm not sure.

Congrats on your new best today the car looked great. I only made 2 passes then left to go watch the Bears. What a joke that was.
