7.90 is getting it done, especially when you're "not hooking"...

I'm shooting for 7.9's on nitrous on a good day. I ran 8.20's in 95* weather on a 1.93 60'.

Very Nice! Your car sounds killer doing the burnout! I noticed you had your heater on before the pass, old school trick!

Something that you can do that will drop a little et and add a little mph, is just barely roll into the 1st amber light leaving the 2nd amber off. Then just barely roll into the next beam. You will actually get about a 8-10" rolling start, I guarantee you it will make a difference. I think you've got an 11 second car pretty easy come fall!

Nice! Nice 60' as well! I was going to go on Wed. but they are calling for a chance of storms so we will see....Im hoping to also get my 11 second slip along with some good 60' times....my best so far actually was 1.69 so with my suspension I was thrilled with that!

I would think that the weather is good for atleast .25 in the et if it was fair.

At HRP during the winter, we get some negative da which really helps times

The weather right now down here is flat out nasty. When my car was in 11.9 trim in this weather at this track I was running 12.2 at 110-111 so you aren't that far off at all.

What tires were you on?

Congrats that's getting it done with NPI heads!

i was running 17x9 fr500's on the front, and 26in M/T et steet slicks on the back with heavy a$$ steal rims.

i just sold my fr500's and slicks and bought a set of race star industires 15x 3.75 and 15x8 rims, with 165-80 fronts and 275-50 goodyear eagle ss drag radials!

And one more thing i just found out, both front brakes were DRAGGING during that pass! the rim would hardly spin when the tire was off the ground! maybe thats why i had no MPH that night!
