Same traction issues for me. Best time was 13.371, which beats my previous best so I can't complain. DA was 4500 today. Crowd really cleared out later in the afternoon so I got several runs literally back-to-back which was great for a noob like me. Consensus seems to be that without stickier tires I really can't take advantage of my performance mods, all they're doing now is helping me spin at the line.

Those are some good times. I've heard cars in Phoenix run faster because of some treatment they spray on the launch pad. Not sure if that's accurate, but spinning through the gears gets tiring after awhile at S.I.R. Glad u guys got lots of runs in!

I ran like shit. First two runs the clutch stuck to the floor. I let it cool down the the next three runs I deceided not to remember how to shift and missed 3rd every time. On my first run where I missed 3rd I got my best 60ft of 1.8 and trapped 121mph. A couple of more runs with no traction then on my last run of the day I got a good launch, good shift to 3rd, then on the 3 to 4 shift at about 3/4 track or so. I lose power. Coasted the rest of the way to a 12.07 @ 113. I thought I blew the motor until I tried to turn off the track and had no power steering. Just threw the belt, no biggie. Until I saw this.

I hope Whipple comes through and sends me out a new one on monday. Well we will see.
All I wanted was an 11 second run. Damn it.
