Well I really don’t post everything I do on here, but I had a very good outing at the track today. It was the last day to run my car at the local track today, so I decided to see what my car could do. It previously went a 11.52 with a 2.0 60’ before my irs’ cover blew up. I put in my solid axle and I was ready for my first pass of the night. I really wanted to run my 26x11.5x15 quick times, but couldn’t get them to fit properly and didn’t want to waste anymore time. I went out on my 17” nitto drag radials.

First pass not leaving hard

1.67 60”
7.08 1/8 mile @99.29
10.94 ¼ mile @129

I was on my pump gas tune and pullied for 17 psi.

The next two passes I put my race gas tune in and didn’t do so good. I did my first pass during the day and the track had some heat in it. I did the other passes at night and just blew the tires off when I tried to get a little more aggressive with the launches.

1.76 60’
8.0 1/8@ 96
11.99 1/4 @ 129

1.73 60’
8.42 1/8 @ 61.5
17.2 1/4 @42.9 woot woot lol!


The 60s aren’t bad but the car was spinning very bad for them to hook properly it should have been a 1.58 or a 1.60 not a 1.7. next time I go out I want to get some real tire and go for what my car really has in it. I think it should be good for some .40-.20s with a low 1.5 60’ and a good set of tires on my race gas tune.

Thanks for reading and I should have better time posted soon.
