Default Went to track yesterday....

After 9 runs, this was the best one...


R/T -0.495
60ft -2.087
330ft -5.585
1/8 -8.404
MPH -88.88
1000ft -10.807
1/4 -12.822
MPH -112.330


The track temp was very low, and i just could not get a good burnout. It would either pegleg when i hit brake, or creep forward, just couldn't get em smokin enough no matter what I did. This run was the VERY last run of the day, and the runs before had all been in the 13's so i kinda given up hope. I know there is more in the car, but since i couldn't get the ET Streets, sticky, i couldn't launch hard. But I'll get it. Just need more practice.

Previous best was 13.96 @ 100. And this makes a total of 12 runs I've EVER made.

Sounds like you need a line lock and locker.

yea Line lock is in the works. If i didn't hold the brake, both wheels would spin, but I would creep forward, so i I just gotta get the car to stay put.

At least you went to the track and ran. Congrats on 12s.

Everytime I get a setup worthy of going to the track, something bad happens. Since I've started building Hondas, my goal was to run 12's. I've had at least 3 or 4 setups that could have gotten me well into the 12s but I never went to the track.
