:buttonit::bangcomputer:

got so much wheelspin it was crazy, no matter how I launched.... either span off line or second or third, few times even whole track it was rediculous, was getting hosed by slow cars too lol

think few times when I span second car went sideways towards wall :buttonit: by looking at the videos looked pretty scary..

best was a 12.02 @ 122mph 2.4 60'

ran with a full tank opposed to quater which I had last time, in hopes to have a bit more weight in rear to keep car down, actually span more :S

think its time to give up the street tyres :dontknow::icon_ford: or stop attempting to run on them... was "supposed" to run on semis but funds lacked somewhat

humidity was down 10% since last time

you still did alright... remember that on street tyres, doing a pre-stage burnout usually is detrimental to the ET time.

im suprised I didnt get a slap on the wrist for my 'mid track loss of traction' lol !!

we could see the lines painted from the top viewing area when watching the burnout comp. haha

your skids were awesome mate :icon_ford:

I was trying to preserve my tread on my street tyres, hence being stingy on burnouts. I guess the street tyres wont hold temperature as well as semi slicks...

Unlike last time as you can see from video above, big burnout didnt make much of a difference.

Was stop start traffic all the way fwy south to get there lol, got there so late and there was hardly any cars... by the time I changed tyres and was ready the line a scrutineering was massive and way more cars turned up :bangcomputer:

first run 11.81 @ 123 1.97 60' got warned to slow down a bit

second run 11.58 @ 122 1.95 60' got told that was my last run untill I get harness and tailshaft loop

cant beleive I gained 2 10ths for 0.02 60' - I felt I had much more in it, and was not launching as hard as I could either... guess that's practice though.
