Post New Times!!! are these good?

well, i went to tri state on saturday and managed to get a few good times. without the cutout open i was able to pull a best of:
60'- 2.236
1/8- 9.061 @ 80.43
1/4- 13.871 @ 102.12
that was as good as it got. good news is that those times were in 98 degree weather. i think that with my 60's down to a 2.0 that i could have cut a 13.5- 13.6 and with the cutout open and some cooler weather mabey a 13.3- 13.4
traction is the problem right now. i was traping 102mph consistently but 60's were all over the place. ranging from 2.236(best of day) to a 2.612 (spun forever.)
oh well, time to change sig. even though it is only 2 100's faster than my previous best, but the previous best was in 65-70 degree weather.

You should be able to hit 13.50's with a good 60ft if not better.

get some good sticky tires and try it again.
good luck

I was just a little curious about your 1/8 times. The 1/8 is the only thing close to me.

To the point though. I have 3.23 gears and I run 9.0 @ 76 mph in the 1/8. I'm just curious about the difference in times?
