Getting better

Went to the 1/8 mile today and got some good times. At first I didn't push my car off the line because of my clutch and kept running my 9.5's as usual. So I decided to give it some what of a good lauch around 2K rpms and got a
2.21 60' and 9.44 @ 74.52. I hit the rev limiter in 1st on that run so I figure I had a 9.3 with another good lauch. Next run I landed a 2.20 60' and 9.38@74.49 new PB. For the last run another 2.20 60' and 9.40@74.47. Ran with my 18" rims, no weight reduction besides the spare and jack. Mods are 00VI, intake, and y-pipe (the nitrous is not hooked up due to the fuel solenoid begin messed up so I shipped it to NX to get fixed).

I think you best bet would be to get your clutch issues fixed first and just keep workin on gettin better and better and consistent 60' times each trip down without the nitrous, and when you get your nitrous back in you should be pullin some good times! Good luck!
