That's a badass 60' Drew! Far be it from me to say anything about anything until I'm running those #'s, and you've definately built one of the quickest cars in the area, but still can't help but wonder if by keeping the nose down(while still keeping the tires loaded)if that 1.32 could've been a 1.16-1.18 and that 9.72 could've been a 9.42@146ish?

Just speculation is all..... no dis intended....

It actually runs quicker than the 9.72 in my sig... Thats a sig from a long time ago... I have been some 5.90's in the eight which is about some 9.teens or so..

A few weeks ago I had a 1.35 60ft on the back tires. I then made some tiing adjustments to make it hit a little softer out of the hole and it went a 1.34 on the front tires. I might tr some travel limiters onthe front now that i hvae my fun aspect of the wheel stands over with

It was fun the last few times out. Its so violent when I leave, its an amazing adrenaline rush..... my goal is an 8.9xx with the car with the same setup. I just hope I can achieve my goal....
