??? Top Speed = 16 MPH ???? Not sure what the problem is here - I mean the track was not well prepped
and it was fairly humid out but I can't make excuses for myself. I made two passes and topped out at 16 MPH. Hoping someone can look at my passes and tell me what I'm doing wrong:

I couldn't see your first 'run' but the second time was pretty good. I only get to 10 mph tops. I have been told to get 'spinners' for your shoes, they add HP. See following pic for a top of the line shoe spinner:
Good luck on your next run...

Ive been told to pick up an old pair of Reebok Pumps. You can inflate and deflate the psi to make them more slicks than anything. Id says drop um down to 5 psi and your 60 ft' times will be in the 4 sec range. You just got to put more rubber to the pavement. Good luck

hahahahaha, thats quality, it looks like your low end is fine, but up top you seem to be lacking the power to get more speed, perhaps some weight reductions, you know, bald head, and as mentioned, spandex, maybe you could get a few more mph. with less wind resistance.

Funny stuff, you need more stickers and move some ballast front to rear.
