Default New Best 1/8 mile 7.34 @96mph

headed out to the crappy local 1/8mile track today, let me give you guys a lil background, last year this track was consistently .15-.2 seconds slower and 2mph slower than the other tracks i ran at....best last year 7.44@95.5 on to a 11.629 at 119.5 at Bowling Green KY and 7.47 in Steele AL....changes since last year FAST 90 90, FTRA, K member, !passenger seat, updated tune, and drag wheels(last year ran 18s up front and 16" firebird wheels with 26 10.5 16 et streets on them
last years best 1.68 60ft 7.44 95.5 mph
new best at the crappo track 1.64 7.34 @96.1 mph
i think when i hit one of the other tracks that its got 7.1x- 7.2x @97-98 ish in it....anybody know what et and mph this would be in the 1/4
i just got back and im stoked if you havent noticed by my rambling on in this post
a few side notes all this was with 390 gears and that 1.64 60ft is about all theyre gonna let me have(left on the wood) and my lowered car with bilstein shocks isnt helping either....i'd put a set of 410s in but if /when i do decide to spray at the track im gonna be glad i have the 390s so they stay for now

Nice times, it looks like the extra weight reduction helped. I don't think that 90/90 has really helped you any to be honest.

let me see if i got this right.
you trapped 95.5 last year in the 1/8 at bowling green. you said the crappo track was 2 mph slower than all the other tracks which means you trapped 93.5 mph at the crappo track. and now this year at the crappo track you trapped 96.1mph. 2.6 mph gain....thats pretty good i think.

what was your RWHP last year?

Good run Kurt! Yes, 411 and Knoxville are about .15 to .2 sec slower than other tracks in the area (except Bristol). I think you would run a high 11.3x or a low 11.4x on a quarter mile track.
