My times were all around the low 14s with 285rw I was hoping for at least low 13sAll my runs were with traction control on would this be the problem?It did seem slow off the start but came on strong around third of the way down the track.TheXR8s were leaving me for dead at the start but at the finish I would be well ahead.Any suggestions what could be the problem Thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21448-bad-times-at-drags/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure it's off next time. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21448-bad-times-at-drags/#findComment-317434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
