Default Disappointed

I went to the street night here at the local 1/8th mile. Ran a best of 8.1 at 92.4. 60 foots were 2.0-2.1 with radials. I wasnt spinning at all. Actually i think i was bogging a little. I started launching at 1500 (dont wanna break rear). Mods are in sig. By the was my spray doesnt engage until 2500. I was really expecting to be in the 7's. Oh well i guess.

Your mph would get you 7.70s-7.50s with a fully hooked up 60 foot time in the 1.6 range. Keep at it, and you'll chip away at the e.t.

Off topic, glad to hear Maine has a racetrack, as I spent vacation time in Isleboro every few years (about 45 minutes and a ferry ride from Bangor).
