i have actually heard that Jackson runs FASTER than the others. I will see here in a few hours. i have run at darlington already, and right now i don't think the weather up there is to promising. i know about teh hill at the end, it should help me slow down since i have bad brakes!

If you weren't kidding about your brakes, be aware that Jackson has a SHORT turn-off distance after the traps.

well it may be the gas I don't know but I do run faster 1/4 at jackson but the 1/8 I like southern dragway in Nicholl's but it's hard to beat Macon National it's concrete all the way.

actually, i ran 3 N2O passes. all of them were in the 11's.

the first was like this:
1.716 60'
4.924 330'
7.669 1/8
90.94 mph
11.973 1/4
115.29 mph

then this:
1.692 60'
4.852 330'
7.554 1/8
92.06 mph
11.811 1/4
116.39 mph

and last:
1.685 60'
4.861 330'
7.556 1/8
92.64 mph
11.775 1/4
112.80 mph

something wierd must have happened for my mph to drop at the 1/4 after it was up at the 1/8. i think i must have done something wrong, maybe a slow shift to 4th or something. because of this, i know the car is capable of more.

Yeah, we definitely need to go back once I've got a new clutch. I think I could get 12.5s out of this thing there, maybe more. Went 12.9s on a slipping clutch (off 6 MPH at the big end). Track hooks like crazy.
