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.
