Ran a 7.75 in the 1/8th yesterday. My goal was 7.9X so am a happy camper. That should get me the 12s, Woo Hoo!

wow!! what does 700 rwhp feel like? because that is what it would take in a truck that size. for what its worth, i ran 7.73 @ 93.7 and that was 2 stages of juice...granted that was only a 1.75 60ft ...what did you do to go from 500rwhp to 700+ ?? i am curious to know.

Rt - .581
60ft - 1.257
ET - 7.754
MPH - 81.479

That is what the slip says. It felt like something better than 8.1 which is what I get when the tires are cold and slip or I don't boost up enough so doesn't seem out of wack to me based on my other times.

Is it that much to pick up .4 sec?

The truck weighs right about 7150 with a full tank and me in it.

mike- you dont really bellieve you cut a 1.25 60ft do you? you smoked the lights again dude. sorry.

p.s. a 7.75 is usually 88-90 mph in the 1/8th

on edit.... .4 is almost a full second in the 1/4

There are other problems besides smokin the lights apparently. It's pretty hard to smoke the lights when the stacks are pushing the smoke straight in the air. Guess we'll just have to wait till AZ and a second set of lights.

7.75 is 12.0 in the 1/4 nathan. something is wrong because its the 2nd time mike has posted a total bs time. i know he is new to this...but he should know by now he's never gonna cut much better than a 1.70 60ft..and to be honest it blatantly discredits the folks who have run those times. for example...the banks truck cuts 1.30 60fts...you or he should know the minute you see the slip it was junk.

The above 60ft time just isn't gonna happen.

Did you make any other passes for comparison?

I didn't think the 1.25 made a whole lot of since....definitely not trying argue, all I was saying was it's something other than smokin out the lights...no need to get all argumentative.

I can't remember the first pass, the second was the 7.75, the third the lights fouled completely and no time, the fourth was a 8.23 with a 1.75 60', but had a ton of wheel spin. Had to sit in line for close to an hour and had cold tires and a cold track, they were running some exhibition runs in the right lane, Mike was running the left.

[hotstik]

What track is this????

[fords4life]

Barona

That is fine, you dont' have to be such a jerk.

I had 3 runs with times. Nathan is right about the one with cold tires. My other run was a 1.5 60 ft and ET was 8.1 at 81.377 mph.

Most people help me out rather than tell me how bogus I am. I don't like that dude.
