The last 2 runs? Was it the last two that I did? Could you post both the 60', ET, and trap speed on the back to back runs. If I didn't have to wait in the staging lanes for so damn long we would have had a good chance. Oh well next time it will be yours to take.

1st run

1.71 - 60'
11.701@121.896

2nd run

1.72 - 60'
11.72@121.896

I should have run it two more times because in the past when I make 4 straight runs the quickest runs comes on the 4th.

I agree the 17s are not going to get a better 60 foot. You need a taller side wall to get a better launch. I'm willing to bet Alan's car that he can't beat you in a street run!

Watch this video before you count out the 17's and read my question to the owner and then his response. Oh and yes that's the old crappy left lane that we all know.

Best way to settle this would be to mount both tires on seperate runs and see which one out performs the other. I'm willing to bet I'll cut a better 60' time with the 16" setup but you never know.

I've ran 3 10.8's on that left lane and it will stick if you get a good burnout with a solid launch.
