Default 125 MPH Trap....Still In here.

So I took the FRC to the track last night and made a few runs. Best of the night was 12.032 @ 125.0 mph. I had an award winning 60ft time of 2.210 Decided that the window switch needs to be set higher, was shutting off 40 feet or so from the end. Might have to try something more than an off idle launch next time to get me out of here.

Even with 2.2 short time, you should still be in 11s with that trap speed.

I usually launching from 3k rpm and ride the clutch a bit and I'm able to cut 1.8xx with street radials.

Yeah the 104* heat didnt help that night either. All of the launches were off idle and spraying in 1st gear.

What type of tire are you running? It seems to me that you're spinning them during and after the 60' mark.

Sorry but your buddy simply can't drive. I'm not a great driver but I'm able to cut 1.8xx short time with IRS and street radials along with traction issues.

Im pretty sure the driver isnt the issue not saying hes a pro but the car has too much power to put threw a m6 with nittos slicks would solve the problem.
