It actually pulled the left front off the ground, man what a feeling. It was just a few inches but to feel the thing spring to life and then bounce when it hit the ground, damn it was awesome! The track photographer got a couple of really good shots, I'll have to try and scan them or something.

I launch at 1500 it seems to net the best sixty so far. If I launch higher it really "feels" like a better launch but it just doesn't translate to the 60ft time for some reason. Maybe the tire spins about one or two revolutions I don't know.

I have to admit though these times came from a negative DA. It was a freak day yesterday with abot a -400 da and superb track prep. I guess now I'll just have to throw a little more at it to make these times legit. I expect 11.60s at the usual track conditions/prep.
Edit:I looked up DA calcs and depending on which one you use it's -400 or +120. IDK it doesn't matter. We don't get days like this very often.

My scanner took a dump so I had to take a pic of a pic. Excuse the glare.

My best 60 of the day a 1.607


I about **** when I saw the sidewall flex. I never expected this.


And this guy showed up.
