+2330 DA 1/8 mile pass

Well I have been dying to make a trip to a track but due to my schedule the 1/8 mile was my only shot and DA was @ 2330 at the time of my pass. Not the best but pretty happy with it at the end knowing the DA. And couldn't HOOK!!!!!! and my tires are pretty much done :( this is still a bolt-on car

Good job Martin! So your run in "S" mode was slower?? What were the 60ft times on those runs?

Thanks Jeff, and yes on S mode my passes were 7.70s-7.90s with a 1.75 and 1.95 50ft
My last run i just had to paddle it down and boom 7.65 but with a 1.66 60ft.

IDK what could have been the problem fixer tho. track was getting prepped cars were hooking but I wasn't didn't pay attention while in the lanes if they had just prepped the track moments before my last 7.65 pass while it still had a slight struggle with traction.

When I tap shift I normally hit it right @ 5600-5700 and hit before 6k, so shifted higher than when on ''S'' mode.

You need to log your pass just to know where you are shifting. If you get your shift points set right, the computer will be far more consistent than paddle shifting it.
Sounds like when you paddle shifted it, you just had a better 60ft which is why it ran faster.
It's all in the 60ft.

Dragtimes corrected, that about an 11.79ish. It's getting better bro. Keep working that 60ft. There's more in it!
