Went to Atco last night..

The 3 runs I got in took over 6 hours! ..man I'm slow!

Some pics:









Couldn't hook for St Even with the CHE LCA's she was wheel hopping bad!

The best I could muster was a pair of 13.6s @ 103-104mph and a 13.7 @ 105. <---Why the hell would the slowest run have the fastest mph?

MPH indicates horsepower, while ET indicates traction/launch. Was that 105 mph run after dark, or after the temperature outside had dropped a bit? That would enable you to make more power, thus higher trap speed.

From my experience, a slower ET with higher trap speeds means that you didn't hook up at all.... your car was still gaining some amount of momentum (moving forward) but not as much as it would if you had full traction. That's why you had a higher mph (momentum) but slower ET (spinning).

Yup, the 105mph was around 11pm. She was spinning bad on the 1-2 shift and even alittle on the 2-3 shift. Thanks!

You're running the factory F1's in the back right? I have to say that they suck at the drag strip. Get some DR's on there and you guys will see a night and day difference!

Car looks great!

look at it this way. I ran a 13.4 @ 107 mph. The other night I ran a 13.08 @ 106 mph.
