So your truck should easly be in the mid 13's.

Any weather update?
So far it's holding out.... Around 3 Ill make my decision to go or not. Need to go wash out the truck so it's not completely ugly.

Yeah I know the truck will be in the 13's, but I want to be really happy when I run that mid 13 instead of disappointed I didn't run a low 13...

So 14.1 at 100mph it is

here is the article on the nitemare...good photos too

I ran a nightmare on the street from a roll, never pulled on me but I never gained on him (he started out ahead of me it was more a chase due to how we ended up in a lane together, long story)

My truck could easily see 13s with traction Fatherfords will see 12s with traction no problem

you pm'd me your number right?

Great question... leaving at four, and when you will probably hit... bad.

You will be ok going into houston, going out though is going to suck.

Oh and by the way I ran a best of 14.07 @97.8 with a 2.13 60' time San Antonio Raceway
best of 14.05 @98.3 with a 2.22 60' time Temple Academy Dragway/Little River

so let this be your benchmark since you are 1klbs lighter than me..

and for sh*** and giggles I ran a 14.24 @98 with a 2.18 60' time at SAR starting in 2nd gear

Nice pass Fatherford. Looks like you have a lot left in it with a 2.29 60'.

Still feel there was more in on street tires. More practice and better weather street tires I see an easy 13.6/13.7

if I can get that 60 down to 1.8 with my drag radials I'll post some good times

For every .1 in 60 foot you take off roughly .2 in quarter mile time. So from 2.29 to 1.8 you take off .4 says basic math. So your time with a 1.8 would roughly be 13.0. However, your MPH is very high for 13.8 which would have me guess with traction you could pull a 12.8 or so.
