Any predictions?

You going to stay on the stock tires?

[Wyte Snake]

yes, stock tires.

Well, just make sure to slip the clutch bud and ride it out... don't get into a tire fest..

I do have a different camera I can mount on my visor. I will try and tape some passes.

Here's how I did:
13.986 @ 114.856
13.406 @ 116.495
13.341 @ 116.378
13.136 @ 116.309

Will post scans in the (later) morning

slow launch times. On street tires no traction.

13.136 @ 116.309

Well it sure seemed like you got faster and faster each run.. what was your 60-foot.

2.8
2.5
2.6
2.4

You can get it into the 2.0 range on stock tires, but it requires A LOT OF slipping of the clutch and seat time. You'll be able to get that thing into the 12.50s...

You need some DRAG RADIALS and can you say 11s?

Wow nice job. What was the temperature like out like and how much time was between your runs? Thats neat that you got faster and faster. Now with some better tires and more seat times you would be down in the 11s
