If the car launched harder on a wet surface maybe you need a few more rpms at the track. Good luck, you'll get it.

Dryad if you watch the video you can see your car die ounce you try to throw in gear. If the car wouldn't do that then thats the 11s you want. Powershift and if you do get better at it. I can never hit Eleven with that 330 so if you get it done to a four or closer then you'll hit it. Another thing like the guy befor me said launch it higher. My buddy has a act and he launches at 6200, what about you. Tire pressure can be another issue but I think you know that.

I wish I could. I have to work all weekend. I will probably be there tonight if I can find someone to videotape me. Or else I will be up there on the 19th.

I can make a promise to everyone I will NOT be in the 12's for a year. Next week friday Im heading back down to the track to try again. Now that I have a drag racing map complete I feel I have no reason why I should not be in the 11's.

Hey if you are going to go there and its not gonna rain Ill go with ya. Not that I am the greatest but I might be able to help out. Ill be trying to hit a stupid 10 with my pos. I also have a camera so we can film the runs.

No one takes you seriously here so go find a newbie to molest with your 12 seconds of terror
