Are you going to be learning how to drive it or can you already drive a car of that caliber? Will you be spraying or running NA? If spraying I would say 9.80s, if running NA I would say 10.80s just to be conservative. They aren't going to expect you to be running exactly what you say you will be in your pre registration.

Well you need to know that your not going to go out there and rip of a 9 second pass with a setup that you have no seat time in. Stay conservitave and estimate a low but reasonable ET and if you crack of something faster pat yourself on the back, if not then you just qualified for Pinks.

I was gonna say 10.50 on the spray since it's an untested combo and you're not accustomed to driving it.......

but make sure you get plenty of seat time b4 pinks.... i did pinks and leading up to it my car was inconsistent as hell... but me and my team got our f-in acts together and on the day of T&T we made two passes. 9.86 and 9.89..... Then we got our saturday qualifying pass in front of Rich and that was a 9.83... Then the armdrop pass which my datalogger said was around a 9.75-9.82 ish......

If you aren't consistent don't bother wasting your time cuz you'll boot yourself. and if your car run 10.50 that's usually where they try picking cars...
