Fresh drag radials ... 30 degrees cooler (66 degF)... and ...

StartupJunkie · 09-23-2010, 01:02 AM

Disappointment!!! After 3 runs, I packed it in and went back home.

All I could manage was 11.790@124.067 with a 1.865 60' time. All the other times 60' times were in nearly 2.0 seconds (still trapping 124+mph). There is no doubt that 11.4x are in the cards. (a few weeks ago 11.593@124.665 mph when it was 93 degF). I'm normally able to get low 1.6x for my 60' times.

As it turns out, the shop that fixed my brake line bypassed my linelock. So when I went to do my first burnout, I nearly spun like a top. I had to pull off the front tire to figure that one out. I couldn't get any traction in M1.

I'm still waiting for my replacement stainless steel lines from AR Designs.

Its so sad, my brand new drag radials still have their nubbins in the middle of the tread.

Now I gotta go out of the country for a few weeks ... hope to get things fixed when I get back.

Happy Trails ...

PS. I saw shiv with his N55 135 out at the track ... I was very impressed.

It was a N55 135i that shiv was running.

Yep...with new DR's you need to really warm them up. If not they will spin.

I feel your pain Junk. it's very frustrating when you can't get any traction. I'm still trying to get a 1.9 60'

Not bad at all tho Junk, pretty impressive man.

You ever tried your luck at Famoso? I would really love to see the trap speed difference since so much is made about SAC being a fast track.
