the 60 foot time looks very high, how are the tires on the car ? im thinking if you get a good launch/60 foot your times would be in a more normal area.

With a 1/4 mph of 92 you should definitely be at least 3 tenths better. Your 60' definitely hurt you, I agree with Caesar.

You're 5spd I assume?

Was this your 1st time at the track?

Yep, your 60' time was very slow, meaning you need to work on your launch a lot. For every one-tenth you can improve your 60' time (launch) by, you'll get about two-tenths on your ET. So if you can bring your 60' time down to even a 2.3xx, you should be able to run a 14.8 or better. Your trap speed should also pickup a bit as well.

yeah practice that launch.. it will take time to learn the track and how it hooks up, and learning the car to see what she will do.

a good light set of wheels, with some sticky tires will help you out alot. when i had the khumos on the chariot, i had much more wheel spin than the toyo t1-s. this could all be redneck theory, you might have to get steve to verify it.

but im thinking lighter car, lighter rims and smaller, and sticky tires are going to get you lower 60 foots in a maxima.

but then again im not sure.. maybe mods play a big part on this too which open up some more hp to play with.

almost forgot: i dont think there is anything wrong with you max

You could run a 14.8 or 14.7 if you get your 60' time into a reasonable range. You wasted at least .5 seconds right there on the launch.
