just got back from the track....

i still didnt break 13's but i ran a 14.11 which is .01 faster than i ever ran before. i did bring up the mph from 93 to 98 which is a big jump. i also ran consistant 14.1's with consistant .550-.557 R/T. overall i am pleased however, the quest for 13's still continues.....

The hunt for the elusive 13's, I know it well. Still, good times and thats a helluva improvement in MPH. What kind of 60' are you cutting?

Damn! I'm on those same tires and the best I've been able to cut is a 2.05. I'm going back out to the track next week on Nittos and if I don't break into the 13's I'm selling the car.

Don't forget, it's not just tires but track prep. A track that has no prep done to it will be slippery even when using slicks.

Buy some slicks and you should be in the 13's.

You're both running at different track elevations. Racing at a higher track will also slow a car down. Trust me. My racing at 5000 feet density altitude is very noticable when I go to a lower elevation track. My 1.5 60' time was at a lower track. Locally I usually only get 1.6's
