Ran at the track today. Not a sucess but not a failure either. It was 85, slight breeze and sunny. Low attendance, rain makeup day from a few weeks back Some people complained about the track being slippery. Ran a 15.34 first run, knocked all the way, spun bad, 2.46 60ft, trapped at 92.74. Went back, let it cool off, added more alcohol, went up and raced it. 14.76 at 92.83, 2.17 60ft. Ran it again and got a bit greedy, spun off the line, 15.09 at 94. Every run after that was a 14.85-15.20 at 93 with about a 2.36 60ft.
My 14.74 run trap speed was 92.74 and last falls run was 93.83 so it actually got slower on the big end.
Woulda thought that with 3-4 more PSI, better tires, and more timing with no knock it woulda ran better but with the exeption of that one 2.17 60ft time it ran the exact same as it did last fall. That 2.17 didnt spin a bit but I was unable to replicate that good lauch, just spun a bit every time. Reduced the tire pressure about 5PSI and it didnt help. IAT's were around 100 no matter how long it sat.
Nobody else was super strong it seemed. There was a STR8 challenger that ran 14.5's all the time and hes got 100HP on me. Procharged C5 that ran high 12's that shoulda been in the 11's.
Needs drag radials or a trip to a different track just to see what will happen.
Heres a video but I didnt realize the video function on my camera is so bad and all you can hear is the mustang next to me squeeling forever. Click to open
