They are running this Saturday and Sunday so that will help get the track broke back in for us running next Friday too. I got 8000+lbs and 4wd so I'm not worried about traction

Hopefully there will be a few more E55's into the 10's, looks promising with the weather. Does anyone have a count on how many 55K sleds are going?

I often wonder the same thing.

But I sure get a kick out of shocking the sh*t out of people.

Perfect MIR weather today. Tesla has a car out here running 12.8x every pass so pretty impressive I think. Gadgets car was running goooooood . Also have a 10.5 outlaw car running 4.1x in the 1/8. I've been doing 4wd burnouts all day with a sad best of 13.00@111. Race weight is 8020lbs

I let gadget chime in but put it this way. On race gas, Hoosier radials and a good cool down with ice it would be the new record holder.

Ok, that must be on drag radials, now is that on pump or race gas? I realize it is a pump gas tune, but am curious if pump was actually used or if race gas was hoping for it to help out some.
