I had 5 new best times yesterday. Previous best was 11.17@ 118 mph

New runs with slicks, going down on psi every run:
1.597 sixty, 11.219 @ 119.2 mph
1.61 sixty, 11.164 @ 120.28
1.567 sixty, 11.163 @ 119.43
1.585 sixty, 11.155 @ 120.21
1.564 sixty, 11.154 @ 119.46
1.565 sixty, 11.142 @ 120.21

Best 1/8 of the day was 7.069 @ 96.85mph

Good launch and a day of fasting, done deal! Great slips man, moving in the right direction all day is the way to do it.

Nice runs for sure! You should try and get a slow motion vid of the launch.

I think it's gonna take some weight reduction David. A 1.53 sixty may have put me around 11.09...still not close enough.

Probably if someone knew what they were doing. I'm afraid to touch it.

Final was 14.5 psi hot. I've cut a better sixty in Georgia with 16 psi cold and then a burn out, which is about 18 psi hot
