Default ran 1/8th mile again

at elk creek...
the track goes up hill, so i had to run with the e brake slightly on. that part sucked cause you couldn't focus.
i ran 8.2 at 91mph.

Damn, that's hauling. Was this run on regular street tires, drag radials, or slicks?

Not bad...I went there for my first drag experience..it's intimidating using the parking brake at launch! I pulled off a 9.89@65 with my car stock except intake, catback and testpipe.

8.2 is hauling ass!

I'm more impressed with the trap speed than the time. I mean times can go either way, he could be using slicks and getting rediculously good traction, but then again a good time shows how well you can drive a car. A good trap speed shows how much of a beast you got under the hood. Good time nonetheless, I am curious to see what that was run with.

How did you get such a low trap speed? I trap 69-70 when I run 10.0-10.1. Do you know the 60 foot of that run?

How do you do that? I do 69MPH and only do a 10.5

crap crap 205/60/15 tires. lag, 2.5 60'.
93 octane. yeah i have a problem launching, bog or boil. i need slicks badly.

i got 3 runs, the last was the worst. i almost wrecked. i hit 3rd gear, all cool, then boost is hitting and the thing starts to spin (i think i hit some oil) and i almost wreck. scarry, so that is why it was my last run. figured i'd cool my jets. :0)

Do you think you would run better, same, or worse at NB?
