Buy the car that you would most like to get beat in. The other guy will always be faster.

Not bad, but your 60 foot is killing you. What's your front and rear tire pressure when you make your runs?

I kept it near normal levels because I had a busy weekend planned and didn't want to have to worry about filling them backup and such.

Yeah both of you could really improve that 60 foot. I'd drop rear tire pressure to about 28 and fill the fronts to 40-45 and toy around with the psi depending on the traction you're getting.

Oh I know my PSI needs to be different, but I was out there just for fun and like I said earlier had plans all weekend so couldn't afford PSI to be all over the place.

I thought about lowering my rear tire pressure but I was a little nervous since there isn't too much thread left on them.

Not bad Pitt, given the crappy DA. Get that 60 foot down and you'll def see the gain up top.

On a side note, I bet we're about to see this section blow up since the fest starts tomorrow morning.

Well, here are my timeslips from CFest for all to analyzed. They are ordered by time-of-day left to right. On the first one I dusted the tires and did a soft launch off idle with TC on to get a feel for the track. Turns out that was the best time. It started cutting out at about the 1000' mark and I coasted in from there. It got progressively worse from there. Did a good burn out and launched at about 1500 with TC off. Got a little past the 1/8th point and it cut out so coasted from there. Third run I barely made it to the 1/8th, and well the last one I made it maybe 300'.

dude... i got a headache trying to read those! Would you hold still for gosh sakes!!! LOL!

That 1st run would have been low 12s with some descent air! DA was about 2500! (We had over 3000 here in Michigan on Saturday... I didn't race, but dang it was MUGGY!)

Yo, your eyes must be slow/old. I read them fine lol

12.5 is very commendable in the heat, plus with the issues you had.
