11's will have to wait another day!
Well I was saving my 1000th post for something special but for now this will have to do. I was checking out the weather Saturday morning for Sacramento Raceway and I saw that it was to be in the low 60's & cloudy! 
I felt like Patrick Swayze in point break when he heard about the big waves in Australia. I had to make the trip up to Sac.
In short I cut my best 60' to date with a 1.85 on my Nitto555 street tires on my way to my personal best et of 12.09 @ 116.33. I followed that up with a 12.1, two 12.2's, two 12.3's and my worst run of the day 12.4.
It seems as if the more other bikes & cars ran the worse my traction got.
It was a good day even if I didn't run in the 11's.

I would love to do it with my 19's but I keep saying I'm going to put the stock wheels back on so I guess I need to do it and try it with the 18's.
FWIW....this time around I had the suspension set to the #1 shock setting and I had 40psi in the front and 36psi in the rear. ( I tired 25psi 3 weeks ago and the results were a best of 1.98 60') I made a total of 7 runs and ran under 2.0 five out of seven times. My worst 60 under 2.0 time was 1.95 twice.... I had a 1.94, 1.90 and 1.854
btw on my 1.90 run I ran a 12.1@117.6

Nice job HD.
Do you have any plans on going up next weekend? I don't have my car right now but I'm going to try and talk Blueknight into going up and racing his car. I want him to do some data logging before his next mod.
