That's not bad. Get some good tires on that bad boy and get your 8.3 pass.

Good job, it's always nice to go out and get a new PB. Now you have to figure out how to top that. That was on street tire to! I wonder how you would do on some drag radials? Congrats, see ya at the track.

my best at irwindale was on my "street" tires. sometimes they do better since your motor could bog if you get toot much grip (or other things can happen too).
