Track hopefully on Friday


I went last night, but the track condition was horrible. Only pulled a 13.2 @ 110 and my 60s were really bad at 2.1 to 2.2 on some runs. There was fog all across the track and condensation up and down the whole time. I managed 3-4 runs in between them drying the track off every 5 minutes. I was still spinning bad through 1st, 2nd, and even most of 3rd. I can't quite find the sweet spot yet with the charger to avoid spinning but not bogging. I'll be ok at the launch, but I kind of have to feather the gas up to WOT to avoid breaking loose. Any other advice for the track Friday when the weather is supposed to be drier. Any guesses on my times? I figured trapping 110 should be putting me pretty well into the 12s.

with a trap speed of 110 i would think 12.20s or 12.30s would be good...also lower tire pressure but if your running on 20s its going to be harder to get some bite.

thats a good psi for street tires in imo...theres just not enough flex in the tire to get the bite.....the more passes you get the better your times will be!!

that should be a 12.2-12.4 time at 110mph. Drag radials? Those will really help your times. You wont get in the low 12's without getting that 60ft. down. That is the only thing that will give you those kind of numbers.

yea, my 60s really suffered with the traction i was getting. On a dry track and seat time I'll get those down under 2 and be seeing better results.
