what was your raceweight?

what was the weather like?

were other cars at the track having a hard time with traction?

12psi is pretty low for ET streets, I always found 18-20psi to be optimal. Are these tires new? worn out?

later,
Steve

Im not shure about my raceweight the only thing i have took out of the car is spare&jack. I had skinnies on the front it was about 87 outside,the tires have had maybe 15 passes on them & they just got done spraying vht on the track.I dont know what the deal is i have cut 1.82 60fts on 95degree days before the vig & gas .I have tryed anywhere from 12psi to 22psi on the tires with no luck this sucks on spray i only 60ft 1.70 7.45 91.55 n/a best is 1.74 7.97 86.14 there are guys going faster n/a than me this really sucks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

A few weeks ago in 95-degree temps with a DA of 2120 and a race weight of 3520 the best I could run was a 7.943 @86.66 with a 1.719 60'. That is well off my best time in the sig. (1/8 was 7.57 @ 89.85 with a 1.629 60' on the vig 3200)
The difference is that the bests were run with temps in the low 50 and a DA of -400ft with a race weight of 3350. Your 60s will improve with time. I run ET Streets 26x10.5x16 and very rarely drop the pressure below 20psi.

I think your numbers look good.
