first time out I was pleasantly surprised!!
1st tt.....9.7
2nd tt.....9.3
1st elimination, dialed in 9.25 and broke out with 9.13
the 60 ft. times were hilarious as I'm still running the allseason radials it came with!

did you mean 9.4? unless you got a still launch, hooked like hell after 60 foot, then slammed on your brakes b4 the traps, those times don't match up

I get a 8.627 @ 83.73 mph with a 2.128 60' with street tires.

8.41 @ 85+mph seems to be a better number match and your 60' was not far from the norm with street tires.

Re-check the slip, the numbers you presented are not helpful unless you did as 302N20 said.

I have no idea wtf you did. for a 8.4 with a 2.2 60 you will be going at least 85mph through the traps. you MUST of been on the brakes or coasting by the line. either your typing your slip in wrong, it printed up wrong, or idk. With a 2.2 60 foot and 69 mph you should be running a 10 sec time.

Sarge,
If you reading your slip from Spencer it's only a 1/10 mile track. The ticket shows 1/8 because there aren't any timing systems that read 1/10 mile.

^ Bingo, I think you figured it out, I never thought of that. Is 1/8 will be alot higher due tot he fact he has to travel 132 more feet to reach the 1/8

It appears "ZIPPERHEAD" is the fastest 1/8th mile racer with a 7.02 if I read his timeslip right.

#1. Zipperhead 7.02 very quick
#2. no clutch 8.62
#3. redcammer (until we find out if sarge is racing on a 1/10th mile track. 9.13
