Default Pump Gas Drags

Well I got a few times at Pump Gas Drags. My first time running the 1/4 miles. My first pass was the fastest I ran a 11.08 @ 136.50 on a 2.0 60ft. If you all don't know you have to run a street legal tire. I ran a Mickey Thompson Drag radial 275/60/15. I was pretty pleased that was on lower boost than normal 12psi. I was having trouble over boosting when I checked it before loading on the trailer to take it over. So I turned the boost controller down a little too much. The runs I did were with the AR at 10.2 which is really rich. Over all I had a blast it was a lot of fun and a guy off here won it. I have alot of video. One of Heafners Vipers was there and run a best of 8.18 @ 172 on pump gas with twin T76's. I was wanting to make a 10 second pass but did too much of a burn out and spun taking off and run a 11.2 @ 131 hot lapping it.

Man that trap speed shows you have a lot better e.t. left in it! I would say low low 10's won't be far.

I was kinda wondering why you didn't get on the breaks a little at the end so you didn't get DQ'd in qualifying? I don't know what the bump was though.

that is some good pics. The reason I ran it out is because I knew I wouldn't be able to go rounds with having to run 11.48's so I just ran it out. Let me know when video is ready I will order a couple.

I thought I read somewhere that the 275/60 was the biggest tire they were going to allow this year? It sure looked like the Fbody that won had 315s on it though.

I was wondering how fast the car went, bummer about no roll bar in it as I figured you'd be too fast for the safety standards.

The tire rule was any size drag radial, any dot slick with 11.25" or less tread measured by a go no-go gauge (couple people failed that).
