On a good day my track will have a DA of 2000+. Rarely ( very rarely ) can a perfect day come by and lower this to less than 1000 but it's nearly impossible to tell beforehand. Can't do much about it, PR's weather isn't great for track testing.

Sorry guys! I left the track and went straight to the club.










But you all know I'm just practicing my launch. I've been meeting up with JSBenz ( CL55 on nitrous) and amx1397 (Crossfire w/55K engine). Remember, Countyline Dragway is only 1/8 mile. I ran both cars two times and I won all four runs. I ran a consistant 1.6x 60ft all nite. Against the CL I ran 7.2 @95 both times and he ran 7.3 @101. If he can hook he'd kill me. Then against the Crossfire I ran 7.2 @95/94 and he ran 7.3 @99/100.
Had a fun night. I even got loose on one run. The car didn't go forward it went sideways. So I coasted to the line and ran 15.3. Sorry wasn't trying to tease.

I know, right!?!?!

It's hilarious that how people think MIR is the MIRacle track. Yes, the prep is world class, but the DA is no different than any other sea level track. Here's what it looked like at 3:45 PM today..

Thanks for the vids Jim! I forgot about that run on the pro tree. I still got a 1.6x 60ft on that run also. I think the other guy ran like 6.2
