First time at the strip......

I went to the track last night for the first time. Traction was a huge issue as seen in my first run. The next 5 runs I could not break 100mph for some reason. My ETs varied quite a bit but the MPH did not. Why would this happen? I logged all the runs and saw lots of timing being pulled at least 3 times during each run so I know I can run better if I can eliminate the knock or false knock. Timing was pulled while it had 37 degrees of advance according to the logs. Here were my times.....

60ft---1/4------MPH

2.6---16.09----96.53
2.5---14.31----100.18
2.23--13.89----100.88
2.23--13.96----100.35
2.32--14.05----100.62
2.1----13.85----100.02

Thanks

Nice times, what kind of mods do you have?

Thanks. I am pretty sure I can hit 13.5 or 13.6 with traction once I figure out the knock thing.

MAC cat back, MAC headers, AS&M cold air intake, shift kit, LT4 KM, Subframe connectors, PCM tune.

My 96 Formula with the mods in sig and 200 lbs of stereo in the trunk managed a 13.780 @ 100.2 so we're close.

With a sub 2.0 60ft you should be able to pull off a 13.5 @ 104-5.
