My best stock time is 11.63. Even with TC on I have run in the 11.7's all day long. If you are running in the 12's either the track is slick or you are running with TC off and spinning the tires for a while.....

It is all about the track prep and traction. As many have shown, DR's or more are required to go much quicker.

Schiznick,

When you ripped the 11.63 were you running DR's or stock rubber?

Will have to dig up the time slip. It was in the high 1.8's low 1.9's an a nice cold sticky day.

Trap speed was only 120 121.......
