I have seen a few really bad accidents at the dragstrip. Its no joke how dangerous it can get out there once a car is capable of 150+ before the finish line.

On a brighter note, looks like an improvement in your MPH. That's good! If only there was a way to improve the 60'.......

Those are pretty crap 60' times. I am still getting the E85 tune dialed in, and scared my trannys all seem to like being blown more than I am comfortable with.

That was a pretty crappy pic. Raced my friend in the white mustang, he usually leaves me in the dust, but I was right on his *** today.

Major improvement there. Awesome!

Won't be long and you will be outrunning your friend's Mustang.

Yer trippin'.
You don't pick up 4 mph on a 60' time. Also, I am on the same crappy all season tires and I have done a 1.89 60' before. Go back and read the whole thread.

I think he is saying all you need to do is improve the 60' to beat the Mustang. You are 1 mph away from his time. If you had slicks you would be running what he is running or faster. You are making enough power now that slicks will net a huge gain.

I think they're really close, if he gains .5 on the '60 he would gain back the .6 on the back half, but I don't see him beating the mustang without more power.

You are making enough power now that slicks will net a huge assplosion of your transmission during the 60' leaving a huge giant wet spot of transmission fluid and shrapnelized aluminum all over your lane.

My apologies, seemed to me like he was saying, all my improvement was in my 60' time.

My friend says he gets a headache after 5 or 10 1.6 or 1.5 launches. He is fast, and good at the game, he hit the brakes at the end on elimination, so I let off because he always gets me like that, but I still lost.

Also, there is more power on tap, I am starting to concern the built mustang guys now. No one wants to race me anymore, it's why I usually end up racing the white mustang, no one wants to race him either. You should see all the cars lined up after him on the 2nd round, it's how I get to be first in line.

You're still below what my bone stock mustang was with just a tune. I don't know what built mustangs you have there but they're obviously not doin it right a built mustang should be running single digits

TURN IT UP SONNNNNNNNNN!!

Well, his previous time slip is 11.6 @ 116, I think if he's 11.5 or quicker they will make him get a cage. Like I said, he is good. Besides, don't compare your Sactojet 1/4 mile to my Searstang one, we all know Sears Point is the slowest 1/4 mile on the planet.
