went to track

Well I finally made it to the track, Had terrible runs,very disappointed, best run was 13.14 @ 112 mph. The problem-2.520 60 ft times. I could not for the life of me get any boost off the line. vac. brakes would not hold car,running 2800 stall. I'm going to some how fix the problem and redeem myself, there's always the next time.

Good mph though. Get your brakes to hold, cut your 60' to a 1.7 and you are looking at a low 12. I have run a lot of 12.1's @ 112 with mid 1.6 60'.

Yea, I thought so to, I should have added, that was with closed exhaust, and street tires, If I could have gotten boost off the line, I probably would have fried my street tires. I only got three runs in before it started to rain, alittle more pratice I'll get there
