Default Will my car do it????

I just got back from the track tonight and I am very disappointed... My best time was as follows:

R/T ... .722
60' ... 2.225
330 .. 5.923
1/8 ... 8.888
MPH ... 83.31
1000 ... 11.421
1/4 ... 13.557
MPH ... 105.90

This was my best 60' of the night, every other pass was a 2.3 60' and 13.6. My best MPH was 106.62

What I am wondering... I have seen most people go into the twelves at about 104-105 MPH... I am trapping nearly 107 and I am in mid 13's... Even if I get a 2.0 60', will that put me into the twelves? What does it seem like I am doing wrong, or do you guys think I really can hit the 12's???

Thanks
-Scott

Your 60 ft times need to come way down. I was running the same 1/8 as you with 2.0 60ft times and pulled about a 13.5 at 103. Get your 60ft times down and you should be close!

How do you do your launch? I just held it to the point that it was getting ready to spin and then opened it up when the lights changed.

Do you have drag tires such as Nitto's? This could help your sixty foot.

ya, you can hit 12s. Just get that 60 ft time down to 2.0
