I'd guess your 60' wasn't the greatest. Let some air out and get that baby back to the track. What mod's do you have done.

That mph seems low to me. What's the alt? I was running 91mph in the 1/8 with 442/462 @900ft.

Below are a few runs of mine with similar times.
60 ft 1/8 ET 1/8 mph 1/4 ET 1/4 mph
2.014 8.46 86.63 12.936 110.49
2.103 8.374 87.01 12.825 110.85
2.062 8.335 87.59 12.784 111.09

Just keep practicing and when you drop your 60' times to 1.8 your times will dramatically increase.

I hate reading an 1/8 mile time post.

I don't know why, and sorry this is a useless post... but I felt I was robbed when I clicked this thread to see no 1/4 time. :p

the only 1/4 mile track around me is almost 3 times as far as the 1/8 mile one so i dont go there often. once maybe twice a year.

not to mention they are super tough on tech. not that i am against safety but i have seen them escort people off the grounds for being .02 too fast for the safety equipment they had. Not letting them run anymore is fine but let the people stay and watch if they want.
