    Well the weather was about 80* and yes I was nervouse cause I never competed before.....  :scared:

    I left the sway bar hooked up and didnt have the secondaries on the dominator opening at  1 to 1 shifted at only 5800 except for the second pass I didnt see the shift lite cause of my helmet and hit the chip at 6700  :scared: the crappy 60 fts are probably from the sway bar for 1 reason and i had trouble getting in the groove...

    And yes with no cage 11:49 and quicker I got the  :nono:

    Glad to see you made a few good runs on your 1st outing..

    Now if you can get that thing to 60' , (1.45 to 1.50) you'll probably go some 70's..

    What kind of rpm's did you leave at and what where your shift points & trap rpm's?

    Like I said before, you need to a get a Dana in there and leave like 3500 to hit that tire hard...

    124 mph not bad in a 3800 car with a small tire..

    Bet you can't wait to go out next week....

    (little info if needed, my good friend has a chassis shop within walking distance up the street if you need anything done )

    What was your traction like during the first 60 ft?

    If you were spinning the tires a little, it could account for the slower 60 ft times.

    You may want to drop the air pressure a couple of pounds or add so 90/10 shocks to get better weight transfer.

    Overall, very impressive. With some pretty respectable times to boot.

    Shocks are 50/50 rear and 90/10 front I have got 10.90's before but the bracket race thing mad me somewhat nervous... yea Ive got alot of fine tuning to do... and being a better bracket racer for sure though... still would like to dial to consistant 10.80's....

    obviously traction sucked with a 1.78 60ft  and 11.38 e.t.  ... oh well the bracket racing thing was fun I guess... I coudnt dial anything under a 11.50 cause of the no cage thing...I am going to a track rental next week to try and dial her in....
