Well run a best of 6.89 @ 104 tonight with a best 60' of 1.608....not sure if the track prep sucked, of if I was out of the lane or what but spun all 4 every time I launched.

I probably had a dozen guys come talk to me about seeing a work truck run that well, and a couple that wanted me to do projects of theirs....and one guy that wanted to put down $20k on a race in Atlanta o_0

Thought about that...but my camera mount was on the right side...

Looking at the videos it looked like I was lining up to the left of the main lines.

Yeah that definitely sounds like a track prep issue. Even with shitty DA it should be quicker than that. More often than not its track prep...
