Default Somewhat disappointed runs

Went to the 1/8 track last night right after work w/ a lil more than a ผ tank of 87 octane and a bunch of junk in the trunk.

1st run (launched off of idle and bogged)
2.06 60’
5.64
7.99
8.52 @ 85.84

2nd run 3k launch
2.26 60’
5.84
8.21
8.73 @ 85.84

Final run (not sure I think about a 2.5k launch and clutch started to slip on this run)
2.01 60’
5.51
7.86
8.38 @ 86.34

Tires are 275/40/17 Riken Raptors. I can’t figure out how people where running better times w/ less mph. What am I doing wrong? Or is it the car?

Why are you disappointed? That's fairly normal for street tires. Mph is low...but that could be a few things. Norm is high 80s with bolt ons

Bad 60ft, dead weight should have been pulled, and crap fuel.

No surprises here, you have a lot of room for improvement
