That first pass was me hitting the rev limiter cuz I was locked out of second and third. LOL

Had a great time talking to and meeting you guys. Enjoyed running the car in the 1/4 for the first time. Can't wait to get back that way and do it again.
Thanks again to True Street and the gang for all you do for us!! We had an amazing time!

P.S. I really enjoyed stomping that GTR :)

Yeah, as shitty as my times were I was 100% focused on the launch. Josh Bishop told me to basically come out of the hole at idle and ride the clutch in first to get 60' time down. I ran a 13.2 @ 113 the first time down(and my first going down a 1/4 track) and ran 13.1s every time after that at 110 if I remember correctly. but most importantly I got my 60' down to 2.1's using Josh's advice on the stock 235's next time I go out I'll try a few other things and focus on the tree/ET and see what she's got. I'd love to run 12.6-12.7 on the stock tires.. I knows its possibly just have to find the sweet spot

Same here. I know my car should be good for low 12s as it sits on street tires. I just need the practice.

Yeah with your setup (basically mine) and your tires I could def. see your car running low 12s easily. What were you launching at?

First race I loaded to 2k and picked it off the line.

After that it was 1500 or so rolling out under moderate throttle. Still getting wheel hop and spinning in 2nd gear pedal to the floor.

If we were actually allowed to run in the prepped grooves, would've been a different story.

those grooves are for people with drag radials or slicks. they were letting some cars with bigs and lils use the groove. they dont want street tires ruining the grooves.

They kicked Ant off the grooves when he bolted up his DRs, he even told them he swapped his wheels/tires out .. apparently they didn't care.

Just out of curiosity, are you guys on street tires lowering the tire pressure at all? Would help immensely, even on 235's. I'd take them down to about 23-25, clean them off in the burn out box and see what happens.

You'd easily hit 12's if your legs were long enough to pin the go pedal to the floor. ;)

That won't help at all unless they are drag radials. The sidewalls on a regular street radial do not flex therefor do not benefit from lowering air pressure at all.

Also, if you are on regular radials, don't do a burnout in the water box. Drive around it completely avoiding the water. Depending on the tire will depend on what type of burnout you need to do. Some tires if soft enough will benefit from heating them up, but some other stock type tires will just get hot and greasy making traction worse.

Just my opinion..
