2.355... went to a "midnight drags" event at OSW - AKA the "ice rink", or "Orlando Spin World". The track prep was nonexistant, and it was hot and humid. I did my usual burn out & stage technique only to spin the nittos half way down the track. I was only able to muster a best of a 2.28 60 ft. that night. 
It's usually hit or miss there, I either spin like crazy or have dead hook.

Worst I ever ran was like a 4.3 in my cavalier...When I dumped the clutch it jumped forward and then came out of 1st..so it set the timing lights off but I wasn't moving 
Worst in the camaro has been like a 2.5 or 2.6 cant remember but I know I was spinning.

My worst was a 2.34 on stock meats and stock suspension. Spinning real hard. It was about 45 degrees and track prep was crap. We'll see what I run in a few weeks with alot of suspension work and nitto's.

3.3x in my Z28. I went to the track in Peublo because it opens a week or two before Bandimere and no racing from mid october to mid april is harsh! The track at PMI just flat out sucks. I was running Nitto DR's but the stupid starter wouldn't let me line up in the groove because they were street tires 
I launched like I would at Bandimere and put on quite a smoke show, if I remember right it was a low 15 second pass at around 104 
That track was slick and cold. Highs in the 60's and it had dropped below freezing the night before.

One year exactly!!!!! how? Last year at the Michigan event my Mosier 12 bolt blew in pieces on a 7k clutch dump on the bottle, only moved a foot!. Next weekend I'll be back in Stanton trying to pass the 60ft mark to stop the clock

2.4 here. Was doing some experimenting and feathered the clutch off of low rpms. It was probably the smoothest start i've ever had, but unfortunately not what I need for the track. There's not too much I can do with the 60' anyhow considering the tires I have for the time being.
3.0.. dumped it from 2500 on 16x8 nittos with 4.10 gears, and +3 degrees pinion angle.. Crappy track prep.. It spun forever, and the pass turned out to be a 15.4 Very first pass ever. Who woulda thought after heating em up they couldn't handle 2500rpm on a stock engine + lid and catback?

Worst this year? 2.5X because 430 rwhp and 19" wheels/tires aren't a good thing at the track.
