That's great. What was the 60ft?
With a healthy left leg and some traction that's a 10.

No, I'm not at all satisfied.... Made a lot of mistakes that costs me getting it in the 10's.
I will get it into the 10's

Would love to see a breakdown of your run. After watching the video for the 100th time, I was wondering. Sounds like the car almost stalls out right after the launch. Were you just standing still or did something happen?

I'll try and get the slip scanned & posted
but in the meantime .......
Reaction--------- .67
60 ft------------- 1.99
330 ft------------ 5.38
1/8 et------------ 7.88
1/8 mph--------- 99.84
1/4 et----------- 11.64
1/4 mph-------- 133.84

I think it's obvious I had to make up for a lot of early screw ups in the run.

That MPH is good for mid-high tens with the right 60ft. Id say somewhere in the 1.50-1.60 area. Why is the mph that low though? Doesn't that car make 800+ rw? I would think 140-145mph traps

1st time at the track with the car, couldnt get great traction, and he had a 10 pound plastic walking cast on his clutch foot. i think he did very well for the situation.

Probably so low because the driver was making some mistakes along the way such as holding the 2 step to long on launch & hitting the rev limiter on shifts. Hopefully he can get things ironed out in a few more passes.
And this is the first time this car has been to the track, So it might
be a little early to decide it's not doing what it should.

lol calm down guys. I wasn't making any judgments on the car or driver. good luck with the foot and getting that thing deep in the 10's. Thought about doing smaller rear brakes and some 16's with slicks?
