This was my first weekend at the drag strip, in this case, Houston Raceway Park in Baytown. Must admit, my adrenalin was overloading my senses at first - I was in a "zone"!! Here are my numbers with Paxton and runflats.
60 ft 1/8 1/4 MPH
1.988 8.3 12.4 125.9
2.261 8.3 12.2 131.9
1.967 7.8 11.9 124.1
2.038 7.8 11.8 128.6
2.023 7.7 11.7 125.7
2.031 7.6 11.5 128.5
I was disappointed with the times, considering I have a blower, but it's apparent the driver is a novice and the tires can't handle the power without a smooth throttle roll. On my best runs, I could feel the tires hook up continuously. On the worst runs, the tires didn't feel hooked until 3rd.
You guys think that with drag radials or slicks (and more practice) I could get into 10s?
