Kinda disapointed kinda happy

Weather was awesome track prep wasnt. At HMP I was cutting 1.86s and running in the 8.58s. Well cold front came in so we all went up to HRP which is a full 1/4, got one some what decent pass in and it was terrible. Ran 13.67@100 on a 2.1 sixty, 8.77 in the 1/8. I was so hoping for 13.3s tonight but the track prep wasnt there. Coudnt hook no matter what, really time for drag radials. Street tires wont cut it in the cold with the stall, If I cut that 1.8s like at HMP I would have had my 13.3s or better I also need skinnies, god knows how much those heavy *** ZR1s are slowing me down by. I really think this set has a 13.1 in it on DRs with skinnies judging by whats it run on the 17s on street tires. I did finaly get to triple didgits in the 1/4, Im really happy, I was always plagued by low traps but I finaly broke 100. I just really need a set of drag lites on it.

Re: Kinda disapointed kinda happy

They just resurafced it, this past few weeks ago. I like how friendly they are at HMP, no one is an *** like they are at HRP. Vegas isnt a bad change from Houston.

Daniel when you gonna be back in Houston?
