Well I went back to the track. I have full drag suspension, 4.10 gears, full tubular front end/coilovers, subframes, welded torque boxes/axle tubes, no front sway bar, prostars with 275 nitto drags and skinnies up front, I got a bumpsteer kit and x2 balljoints, Would that have an adverse effect on my 60' steeda hardcore uca and lower control arms and I cant get any better than a 1.967 on my sixty foot.

I also have a bad alignment with the mm cc plates. Do i need more weight in the rear becuase I keep spinning through first. I gutted the trunk and have about 1/2 the tank full.

i roast my tires at 16 psi in second for a good 8 seconds but am still spinnin and quickly slip the clutch at 2500-3000 rpm. Any suggestions for next time? I was hoping for a 1.7x 60'.

Anyways heres my best run in my vert and next to it calculated to sea level. The track is at 2700'. I also beat a viper that missed third muhaha.

rt = .082
60'= 1.995
1/8= 8.65
mph= 82.32
1/4= 13.406
mph= 103.25

CALCULATED TO SEA LEVEL

1/4= 12.88
MPH= 107.32
