That is the time they got when they ran the new Alty at the 75-80 track in MD. That is where we had Maxus.

With 100mph trap speeds on a N/A car, it should be good for at least a 13.9 run. Some cars tend to run slower at that track.

When i ran at Maxus, i was running 14.8's all day but as soon as i got back to NJ and dragged @ E-Town i was back to running my 14.4-14.3's. So i do know that some cars run slower up there which is the reason for the high trap speed and slower time.

If that isnt the case, the driver just got a ot fo wheel spin and when you get a lot of wheel spin and terrible 60fts, you trap speed tend to be high but have a slow time.



BTW-Sprint.. i just think its the bugs growing under your desk that are giving you the tickling sensation.

OK this doesnt make sense. The Q45 tested by its maker ran a 5.9 0-60, while on there it stats 6.6 does that make sense? A 95 se maxima can run with a Q45, I think not!
