Something doesn't add up. You have a low 15 second car, not low 14. Post a pic of the slip, then I'll listen.

Would be real interested in your trap, if you are only 69.71 MPH at the 1/8.

hes only doing a 10.4 @ 69mph in the 1/8th...those times are nowhere near 14.2....a 10.4 is approximately a 15.4 in the 1/4th....a 69mph trap is like an 89mph trap.....

sorry to break it to you...but the timing equipment was off that run

I think we already came to the conclusion that the speed/trap sensors were farked on that run.

to run a 14.2 in the 1/4 mile your 1/8th mph should be around 77-78 mph. ha, but then you could say maybe the 1/8th sensor is off and not the 1/4 mile one, lol !

but then going back to the 330 mark 6.8 secs. would still be to slow, and while its hard to guess, this would still probably be a 16 second pass.

besides all that, good runs and way to take the maxima out for a nice trashing down the 1/4 mile track !!
