This is the best time of year to do it, as we start making a LOT more power than in the hot/humid months. The biggest obstacle to overcome at that point is getting the power to the ground on a colder track, and judging by the wide range of 60' times from your runs you were working really hard at it, congrats!......Cliff
Thanks Cliff..I'm using a different launch technique that seems to help,plus a good burnout and the new et pros work well.I don't have an extreme range of 60's anymore..I used to just blow the tires off at times.I'm pretty happy getting in the mid 1.5's for a 60ft for a stock suspension car with just a set of cheap 3 way shocks.
