Question about times

Hypathetically speaking, if a car ran 11.7 @ 124 mph with a 60-ft of 2.2, what (estimated time) do you think it will run with launching harder with slicks with a 1.6 60-ft time. this hypathetical car is going to the track on sunday, but just curious on what you people think it will run.

If .6 is shaven off of the 60 ft time, theoretically, the ET should be .6 quicker. So I would guess 11.1 with no change to the trap speed.

its alittle more like a tenth and a half i think.


either way if u drop .6 in the 60 foot running 11.7's before you should hit high 10's.
