Default Went to the track!

Third time to the track, and I rarely race my car ever. I still can't get my take off down, but the goal was to get a 13.

After 5 tries of pretty much just 14.2's regardless of my 60, I got a 13.9.

Heres the breakdown:

R/T .490
60' 2.305
330 6.084
1/8 9.137
MPH 80.52
1000 11.751
1/4 13.965
MPH 102.21

I was pretty excited. I know theres still alot more on the table if I can get my 60' down and/or if I use drag radials.

I found my best results were when I just took 3rd all the way to the fuel cutoff

I don't mean to beat you down, but should you be in the very low 13s with what you have?

Get your 60 foot down to around a 1.9 and you should run low 13's if the DA and driver mod are right.
