new best time

hey guys last time i posted a best time of 14.004 @99.07 2.159 60'. i went to the track again this last wednesday and ran a new best time of 13.677 @99.31 1.970 60'. that was my firs run of the night i was very happy. but i was unable to run again because they reject my helmet at the inspection. but i was happy with the run the only thing i did different was i ran 19psi in my tires and rolled on the throttle smoother. what do you think

Noticed you were in Mass, where did you run? If you went to LVD (Lebanon valley Dragway) there is improvement there. Go to NED (New England Dragway) and you should see a tenth or two easy!

BTW very nice times, keep it up!

I need to learn this roll in the throttle method! Everything in my head says mash the go pedal when you see last yellow but that just ends up in spinning my Drag Radials....I'd be pumped if I could pull of a 1.9 60ft time. Good job!

I am up to run anytime as long as I am home, which lately isn't too often. Next season I should be up there a bunch, and should be going a little faster!

NED is a good track as I hope to hit some damn good numbers next weekend! Cant wait to get back there and get some traction.
