You should be able to do better than a 1.9 with those tires. Keep practicing.

I pulled 1.96 on stock suspension and street tires in my vert.

I cut a .01 60 ft time and a 1.8 sec 1/8 mile on street tires....
















I dunno if the tracks broken beams had anything to do with those readings though
