No VHT, although the track may have appied it earlier. traction wasn't as good in the beginning so I doubt it. Maybe the other cars burn outs made conditions that good. Lloyd

Just out of curiosity, any idea what 0-60 mph time would be in an L that does 1.63 60'?

I was thinking 4.5 sec 0-60, or is that crazy?

I'm not even close to that with slicks

My best is a 1.89 on Slicks.

I'm sure it had a lot to do with track prep too. My times slowly went away. 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.9 Then I went home. Lloyd

Even High Risk-Probably the fastest Lightning on the board with Nitrous CAN'T RUN those 60ft times. But you can with just a chip and a filter????

Not to pee in your Cheerios but I think there must have been something wrong with the lights or the timing computer.

My best 60' was a 1.637 with two 1.67 to back it up these runs were with a 100 hp shot of NOS right out of the hole and 28x11.5x15 Goodyear slicks.

Here are all the #'s for that run:
.660 reaction time
1.637 60'
4.783 330'
7.459 1/8 ET
91.27 1/8 MPH
11.848 1/4 ET
110.85 1/4 MPH

Do you know Casper?

Which of my 60' do you believe then? in order of the way they were ran: 1.94 1.87 1.98 1.63 1.64 1.79 1.85 1.90 1.89 1.94 before I went home. I also ran a 2.01 in the other lane with a passenger before the 1.63 even if you throw out the 1.63 & 1.64 there's still a 1.79! Mike (sillysyclone) was a witness as to the way the truck launched. Also on the 1.64 run I had a chevelle with slicks to the 330' mark by .11 & he ran a 12.35! one last thing, My 330'was 5.24 (not that you believe it). Lloyd
