Default Just got back from the track:

Ran my fastest trap speed of all time (84 was my previous best), but I was a .1th off my quickest ET. We were at Baileyton, I don't think the track was prepped very well. I don't know if any of y'all have ever been there, but it's an 1/8th mile track in a guy's back yard, best as I can tell. I hit it too hard off the start, spun and wheelhopped a bit. 2.103 on the 60'. It cost me, too. Here's the whole slip:

60 ft - 2.103
1/8th ET - 8.737
1/8th mph - 86.70

If NoHood would ever send me my wheels, so I could mount the drag radials, I feel pretty confident it's got at least an 8.4 in it. If not an 8.2 or so. Guess time will tell.
