Default New BEST this past weekend!

The first time out runnin on my BFG Drag Radials was a disappointing 12.99@110.88 on a 2.19 60'. I went back this past weekend and immediatly started clicking off 12.8's@111 with 60's in the 2.teens range. Finally after much practice launching on those tires I got a 12.71@112 on a 2.07 60', She's definently got 12.6's in her <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I'd say you've got 12.5x's in her future. You're pulling the same mph as me. You just need to work on those 60 fts. I trap 111.5 - 113. Like someone else said, if you throw caution to the wind and shoot for a 1.80 60 ft, you'll have a 12.4!

If it doesnt take a good driver to do that then PLEASE tell me how <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I would LOVE to see some 12.5's bolt on because im putting my B1 cam in within the next couple weeks.

I'd say I'm a GOOD driver, though not a GREAT one. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I can cut 2.0 60's on the stock Eagle GSC's all day long. Actually, what you really need is some sticky tires and a properly prepped track. Try launching at 4500 rpm but don't just dump the clutch. Slip it out quickly instead. It's hard on the clutch but when you do it right you get good results.
