Talking Great Night At Skyview Drags!

Skyview (1/8 mile) is typically at least a tenth slower than other tracks because it's up on a hill. Last night I tried some different launch techniques and shift points and ended up killing my previous record...

Last year my best time up there was 7.19 @ 94mph with a 1.52 60' (in 11.19 trim). Over the winter I replaced the 10 bolt with a Moser 9" and BMR lca's, phb, and drag bar.

Last night I ran 7.12 @ 95mph with a 1.49 60'. I know it isn't WAY faster than before, but everything I did to the car over the winter added weight to it so I'm pretty happy.
