Well this was a disappointment. Just plain couldn't hook it up. I don't get pissed by this stuff as it is all on me, but it is frustrating. Three runs, 9.66/72.12. 9.46/73.66 and 9.49/73.77. Shifting was a joke. I'm hitting the trap at 6100 in the top of 2nd really pulling. It is all about the launch.. Last year I was hitting the rev limiter (5850) just as I passed the trap, so this year it's a lot stronger. But I really thought I could break into the 8's without a problem and now it's going to take some more work.

What was the weather like? These hemis hate the humidity.

Jasom low 80's 94%. No one was doing good today, the track was shit. But I just wanted to do better. My shifts were inconsistant and tractions was unpredictable. She' (I'll) do better next time. Did spank a late model Mustang slightly modded with a 5 speed and Pontiac that the guy was talking up. Got my hat handed to me by a beatiful 68 big block Camaro that setup as a street racer. Did I say this is addictive?

You'll do better next time with better weather. The humidity killed you.

I'm going to install a floor shifter to help me shift and run my tire pressure down to 26 psi next time i go.

What are you aiming for

I don't have a fixed number in mind, but I can tell when what I have isn't working to full potential. And engine is making good power, it just needs to hook up. I need to move the battery, change tires and develop a consistant shift. Then it should be a solid setup.

1/8 miles?

yes 8th miles and u need to get some drag radials and 17s that will help u hook up. i had no traction in mine when i would floor it

True, I'm going to change back to 17's. They are making DR's for 20's but I'm not happy with the wieght penalty of the 20's.
