Not too shabby for a '98.

Keep practicing & get those 60' times down a bit & you may hit the high 13's. :thumbsup:

Thanks, it was the first time at the track with the DR's so with some practice hopefully the 60's will drop a little. What also sucks is here in Vegas the track elevation is about 2200FT.

OUCH! High elevation + new drag radials = suck times.

How long have you had the drag radials?
Did you get them new or used?

I only ask because DR's only get better the more you use/abuse them, and they can be worse than regular street tires for the 1st few thousand miles.

Also, are you heating them up at the strip before running down the 1/4?

Nittos especially like to get hot (but not too hot) before making a run to get the best traction/60' times...

Keep putting miles on them & heating them up - my Nittos took a while to really start hooking-up good (maybe 1500 - 2000 miles or so).
