Default new best at the track rental

took a while to find the sweet spot on between tire pressure/nitrous progressor/launch rpm. but i think after about 5 or 6 passes, with hardtops help, we found the sweet spot.

got a best 60 foot on the new setup at a 1.54
best 1/8 mile at 6.85 @ 102.7
and a new best 1/4 mile at 10.67 @ 129.8


i should bracket race the car, i think i ran 2 or 3 10.72's, 10.70, 10.77 and a 10.76. 60's were in the 1.54-1.62 range all day. i guess the 28x13.50's did the trick cause the car felt stable as hell! the first jug pass, it didnt even fell like i sprayed it cause it left so straight and didnt move around like before.

if the air were a little better, i might have gotten in the 10.5 range, but im guessing the da was in the +1000 range most of the day. plus the car is a tank at 3690 raceweight.

oh well, im happy. ran fast and nothing broke!
