Seems slow to me. What type of tires are you running?

Hey coach, is it just me or does it seem like his mph is dyin off from the 1/8th to the 1/4? I know i've trapped high 92's - low 93's in the 1/8th on motor and that equated out to high 116's - low 117's in the 1/4. He's at almost 95 mph in the 1/8th, I would think he should be in the 118 - 119 range in the 1/4.

LS Won, is something happening with the spray in the second half of the 1/4? What pressure are you keepin the bottle at to start with? I always keep mine between 1100 and 1200 before goin up to race. I've found 1150 seems to be the sweet spot! Was the bottle full, or were you runnin on empty (maybe it started to run out toward the end)?

No cam. He's probably out of gear before hitting the traps with those 4.56's.

You know what, I didn't think about that, that's definately a possibility!

yep I agree, if not running out of motor/cam/gear, mph should be around 117-119.
