No, it wasn't busy. The rain kept a lot of people away just like I hoped.

Time to stiffin the rear suspension up a little and add some wheel limiters to the front. That should plant the tires harder and give a better reaction time. Just a though though.

Yeah I have to mess with the rear shocks a little. They are the Comp 3-way adjustable set on 50/50, and I have the QA1 "R"s in the front set on fully soft. Pinion angle is -3* and tire pressure is 17* hot.

If you are not spinning, you might eke out a bit more by playing with the suspension, but you also might need more power or converter to 60ft harder, what converter are you running now?

No it isn't spinning at all. My previous best 60ft was 1.57 at U.S. 41 in a little better DA. I have a Yank PT4400 converter in a FLT Stage 4 4l60e and a 3.42 gear in the 10 bolt. I need an underdrive pulley, a bigger gear (either 3.90 or 4.10) and more weight taken out. I will be going to a 28x9 ET Drag with the bigger gear and replacing the front radials with an ET Front for NMCA contingency. Here is my full mod list which can be seen on my FQuick page:
