I log all my runs for temp, baro, humidity, and dewpoint, as well as the car stuff like tire psi, track temp and so on.

I have a Hughes 4000 converter, 5.14 pro gears, and run a 30x9x15 hoosier radial and my best 60ft is a 1.37 in good air and the normal is around 1.42-1.45.

I was running the NHRA Summit ET Series at Atco Raceway in Pro (footbrake) until my rollover a couple of weeks ago. Now I'm on the sidelines until the car is fixed.

kazman ran the first 3 races at Atco in the Street class but I'm not sure where he's running the rest of the season... I know Maple Grove has 3 points sessions and Atco has 2...

Just wondering what the ET break (min/max) for the Street Class is at your track? At our local track the Street Class is 13.00 and up, however, at the NHRA Div-4 divisional event it is 12.00 and up. I have some friends that run in Street and there is always a lot of discussion on this class break and/or what it should be (12.00 or 13.00)

I also run in the Pro (No-Electronics) class which has a 13.99 minimum at our track, but no fast ET limit. Typically, we don't have any cars faster than mid to low 9s in our class. Although, a 7 second foot-brake dragster could run in our class if they wanted.

The Div 1 Bracket Finals rules that are posted on Atco's site say Pro ET breaks are 9.00 - 17.99, Street ET breaks are 11.50 - 19.99 and S/Pro ET breaks are 7.00 - 11.99.

I'm not sure if our rules at Atco are completely the same... I've never seen a car slower than 13.99 in Pro. The S/Pro and Street breaks sound correct though...

Looks like I will not make sit this weekend, I have a little hope...maybe if I get them tommorow(somehow, I may have to go get them) I can make some test runs sunday....at a track 2.5 hours away

Seems like I can't get this car to the track for anything, and I thought I had all my bases covered in feb.
