ran at fontana today and it was my first 1/4 experience. but my numbers sucked. i ran a 14.1 at 104.94mph (96 degrees F), 60' was 2.3. i have 18 sumitomos on the back and a stock suspension. i am constantly spinning off the line. i saw another fbody have a trap speed of 103 and he got a 13.2. so what the hell is going on?

Was it by chance a Camaro SS? If it was I believe that guy has a stall and doesn't know it. I'm guessing cause I saw one there in the past that was running those times before. His mph is pretty low, but he consistantly et's in the low 13's. I wanna see what the 4.10's did for me when I return to Fontana Speedway, especially with the track facing the right direction. My personal best there was a 13.1 at 109mph before.

thats wierd, my best time in sig was with a 2.35 60'.

Heck even with a 2.507 60' I managed a 13.947@105.61


Going through my slips, here is a perfect example to compare, one of my not so good runs. I think this was the run where i short shifted into 2nd.

60' 2.313
330' 6.072
1/8 - 9.059
Mph - 83.01
1000' - 11.596
1/4 - 13.754
mph - 104.96
