At the PSCA race in Bakersfield this weekend, I ran 11.78 @ 120 with a 1.89 60' on 275/40/17 F1's.

"JPR you are full of crap. If you have a timeslip "w/ those 60fts on radials, then the time clocks must have been malfunctioning maybe you staged w/ the rear wheels. What are you saying, there's no need for slicks? you could hit 1.3s on slicks? Total B.S."

First of all, you should be carefull how you address a respected Tech Sponsor, Trust me , I have dozens of 1.6X 60' marks at 3 different tracks and different times of the year so it's NOT the clocks, I specifically set the car up to ET PERIOD. And no, it will never 1.3x 60' mark on ET Drags or Streets, the best it does with a full boot on is a 1.59 60' mark. In your blanket statement "Your full of crap" your calling eye wittnesses liers and Bob 2of3 thats a tech Moderator a lier too so just be carfull. Like I said before, I launch my car very differently off the starting line and NOT staged on the back tires <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> , I am not going reveal my technique of how I get my GSC'c to hook 1.6x 60' marks but the ARE box stock GSC tires off my Trans Am .

"christ, i need to throw away my ET streets and go with JPR radials! i have a tuff time pulling the wheels with ET streets! LOL"

Well, perhaps you might want to try it? There not JPR radials, there just plain ole Good Year GSC's. E-mail me if you want to know the technique and I would be glad to share with people that are willing to listen.

88lx357,
Are you calling JPR and his witnesses liars?
There have been tons of witnesses. If a track is prepped really well it is definitely possible. I have walked on tracks so well prepped I have lost my sneaker. Why don't you STFU and go to your Mustang board.

The tires were stock Goodyear RSAs, 245/50/16s. Yes, that was cranking the front alittle.

Here is a link to the timeslips from Desoto and dyno for stock vs mods.
