Default Went to 41, 60' clocks off??

.

Went to 41 today. Track sucked. Walked it twice, zero sticky. Couple of fast guys went also, none of us got off the line for crap. My car does not move on a pass, right down the groove every pass everywhere else. Had to drive my *** off & abort.

Main reason for post, has anyone compared their 60' there & elsewhere with exact tune up & ET-MPH the same.
I have a data recorder & can prove I spun worse than I ever have, but had a .07 better 60' than tues somewhere else,
running .2 quicker to the 330'??

41 -DOES NOT SPRAY on T&T days, try going when they are running an all run bracket or street car chaos,then it will be preped to half track.Sutton fords NMRA renagade car has gone 1.28 at 41 about 6 weeks ago,thats actually the best it has 60 ft all year.It runs 8.50 at 160. Good Luck!!

Thanks, but is that the exact 60' for that ET at other tracks??

Forgot to mention, you will never see any of my 3 at a street car chaos. Too many people, too many fools, too much drama.

Granted my car is WAAAAAYYYYY slower than anything you have, but my 60's have been pretty consistant from track to track. 41, The Grove, Corova, Bryon, all have been in the same ballpark.

I 60'ed better on a street tire at 41 then I did with the MTs at 66. When I went it was a good night at SCC.

The best 60ft all year was at 41.They were averaging 1.32-1.35 all year.Bradenton Florida,Renolds Georgia,Milan Michigan,Joliet ill,Atco New jersey,all were slower.WWW.NMRARACING.com-thats there car on the bottom of the home page,we have 1st place locked for the year all we have to do is show up friday in Bolingreen Ky (200 pts ) and its over.My best friend Bob Cook is the driver this year for team Sutton.

Ok, so I talked to a few guys that go to the friday night kids thing. They all say that 41 has slightly off clocks.
One even said he noticed one lane is different from the other. Thanks guys.

That was last year.They have brand new clocks and computers this season 80,000 dollars worth.Both lanes are identical,last year they were off MPH wise.Denny the track manager had to borrow the money for the equiptment after last years fiasco with Norm Nevinger stealing everything.Look at my signature below clocks read out to 4 digits.

Are you saying you had your best 60' and best ET, which would make sense??

I'm saying I spun worse than I ever have & had my best 60', but worse 330'.
Which does not make sense. I have the graphs to prove it, huge D/S spike.
Same settings from Tue at other track. Like I said, worse everything, but .07 better 60'.

yes to the first ? They prep the track only when there is a race scheduled ,on tnt days DONT GO !!! its a skateing rink. They do not get the car count to justify a couple hundred $ in VHT.

Just going over some data logs so I could post. Can't figure out how to get the graphs to copy.
Scanner is dead, or I would just print & reenter into my computer. It is the biggest spin I've ever seen,
but it was the best 60' that engine ever made?? Does not make sense unless the clocks were short??
Oh screw it, I'm just going to start bragging what a great 60' my car has!!
