Thumbs up New personal best last night!!
Ran a personal best last night at Island Dragway.

60': 1.802
330': 5.082
1/8: 7.763
MPH: 92.54
1000': 10.054
1/4: 12.004
MPH: 116.25

I was happy but couldn't help but feel disappointed because I
was so close to an 11 second run.

My fastest mph in another run was 116.75 with a 12.04 time.

Congrats!! Great time. You're knocking on the door of the 11's. This winter should be fun. More great times around the corner.

close down. Hopefully, 11's soon.

A meet sounds good. I'll drop you a PM next time I go to the
track, maybe you can run your beast too.

What PSI you running? Anyone know the trade off to when too low of a PSI hurts your top end?

20 psi rears
41 psi fronts

I may go this Friday again and put 50 psi in the fronts. I use to
run 50 psi on my Mustang and that helped the top end a little.

Might see you there. Problem with Island on Friday nights is miserable track prep. You'll be lucky to cut 1.9's even with ET streets.

I see an 11-sec pass in your near future. Best of luck and drive safe.

One thing that's working for us is the fact it's gonna be cold out tonight. I"m not looking forward to swapping on my drs in the cold though lol

At least it's cold enough to boost a ton and get away with it!
