Eric thanks for posting time-slip. And Tosto Racing this is no BS, car runs consistant 6.4`s. This track has to be longer than 600` cause if you look closely at time-slip pic you can see she ran 5.99 @ 594 FT and 6.44 1/8 ET. And 68maro this is no typo, this is a 6.30 sled with better track prep and weather.

Sorry John, I still contend that the mods you've got cannot make the power to run a 6.44. It's got to be a 600' track. This is all easily solved with you moving to Florida. When you run it at OSW you can post the slip.

Could the tracks timing system be showing corrected e.t.'s ?? 
Like 6.44 is the et it would run at sea level ?
I've heard of tracks doing this for Quick 8 races etc... to make it look like there track is fast, but unless your 60 is 1.20 or somthing I don't see how it went that quick with no mph ..

Mobile Dragway is 600' long period.
The Reason the time slip reads as it does is because the software cannot be changed to reflect the actual length of the track.
The 60' and 330' are accurate, but the 594' time is actually measured at 534' and the "1/8 E.T." is measured at 600' instead of 660'.
The track used to be a true 1/8th, but they shortened it because there isn't enough shut down area for the faster cars.. You can see someone go off the end of the track most every weekend, and I've had a couple close calls myself, including throwing the car sideways at the last minute to avoid the sand......
And that's a fact

Corrected for true 1/8th, it would be like 6.75@104 or something close to that anyway from my experience w/the track.

Gizmo, I bet your car is light 
I'm just kinda trying to bring things into perspective a little bit, since I race at that track quite a bit.
Coach, you've got snail-mail
