Default Finally made it to the track!!!

Me and a few guys went to VMP for halloween, first time racing for a couple of us.

Very first run.

R/T .837
60' 2.210
330 5.822
1/8 8.770
MPH 83.52
1/4 13.400
MPH 106.41

2nd run was bracket. Had my dial in at 13.4. They set it at 1.34!!!!
Messed me all up, I think it just screwed up my concentration.

R/T .549
60' 2.600
330 6.213
1/8 9.140
MPH 84.49
1000 11.620
1/4 13.719
MPH 107.74

3rd and final before they closed down on us

R/T .644
60' 2.025
330 5.582
1/8 8.527
MPH 83.89
1000 11.027
1/4 13.127
MPH 107.39


All I can say is that was a blast.
The only bad thing is that they only have two more weekends open and I'm going to be hunting in MN.
Can't wait to get back into it with a lot more next season.
So if you guys have any constructive criticism I would appreciate it.
Oh by the way, this was all on Fulda Extremo tires! But they actually hooked up a lot better than I thought they would.
Thanks to everybody for their help before I went.
Nick

Looks like with a 1.9/60' you will go 12s easy.I would think a set of Nittos would get you there.

Yeah I think next year I'm going to go with a set of BFG DR's. I felt my buddies after he heated them up and my fingers stuck to the damned tire! I was impressed. I was just launching like I was at a light, get it rolling real quick and then punch it. My buddy said it was enough to make it look like the whole thing was twisting from behind. But I can't wait till next season when I have a lot more stuff on the car. 11's here I come!!!
