For example on that day your best run was a 13.27, my best run was a 13.37, you had 17" rims on drag radials, i have 19" rims on crappy tires, you weigh approx. 70-80 lbs less than me and i was on 91 oct and you only did 1/10th better time, i think if your car was a stick you would have pulled 13 flat or maybe even 12.9. Wicked is gonna host another event at Famoso at the end of september, by then we should all have some more mods so im looking foward to doing it again, this time i will def. have a better tire setup  |
Well I had my own problems that day and don't like to bench race, but I'll take an auto any day on the dragstrip. If we're talking about a standing mile race, thats another story. Let's get together when you have better tires and we can try again!
