Went to the track this weekend. I ran a 13.627 @ 107.21mph my 60' was a 2.192.

Now I dont know what I'm doing wrong. I would think with a 107mph trap I'd be a little lower than 13.6. I'm using BFG DR's. But I've yet to cut a good 60'. Maybe I just can't drive, but anyone have any ideas or suggestions for me?

2.192 is not a good 60' with dr's. Should be around low 2.0's at the least. With practice you should be able to hit 1.9's pretty consistently. Whats your 1/8 miles looking like?

Something is very strange. Trapping at 107, you should be able to run high 12's on DRs. Your 60' was not that bad, so that's not the complete answer. Post up your entire timeslip... that might give us a few clues.

Are you shifting quickly/crisply? Are the tires spinning in 2nd or 3rd?

I'll grab my slip tonight and post it up. I left it at home this morning.

im going with granny shifting. and that is where you are loosing time.

I know a guy that had about the same 60' but only ran a 13.9 at 100 mph is that normal?

 

[rogerssa]

maybe shifting is my problem? I usually WOT shift. I haven't (knock on wood) ever hit rev limiter
