Yeah we were watching you, No we were not laughing at you just saying that you probobly wished you had the DR's. Having the AT helps with your launches and RT's a little. Yeah but im a pretty good driver in that car. your best times came off the left track right?

Yeah, it was the stickiest b/c that is where the big dogs roll, I found their marks once, but after that couldn't seem to get in the tracks.

You should head up to barona. its higher altitude but at least you get traction. Spinning is no fun, and too inconsistent.

Been there once, and it was 100x better than Qualcomm no doubt! Out of 4 runs I only had 1 where I spun! Pulled a 9.22 there for my personal best thus far. Hopefully with this tires and maybe down the road a HPT tune n top of my GMPP tune, I should bring that down into the 8s!

9.2 sec 1/8th = 14.35 sec 1/4 mile ET
8.9 sec 1/8th = 13.88 sec 1/4 mile ET
8.5 sec 1/8th = 13.26 sec 1/4 mile ET
8.2 sec 1/8th = 12.79 sec 1/4 mile ET


Just FYI Thought you might like to see the 1/4 mile conversion. If your getting fairly good bite with the street radials, the Drag radials should be good for about .3 (3 tenths, maybe) remember to keep as little gas in the tank as possible, as each gal. is aprox, 6 lbs, so half a tank = about 50 extra pounds! Also take your back tires to max air pressure (while at the track) for less rolling resistance, remember it's the little things that add up! I hope this is usefull for ya, and GOOD LUCK!! Joe
