Video of my 9.19 @ Irwindale.

I was the only tC out there, seriously. I got some practice needed on my launches, but my best ET of the night was a 9.19 @ 77.19mph

Ya, I would go California Speedway but its hardly ever open. It's only about 3 miles from my house, while Irwindale is about 30 mins from my house.

Anyways heres my slip...

sorry for a stupid question, but any way for the guys who half to run on 1/8 mile tracks to be able to ( with some accuracy ) convert those numbers into 1/4 times? I know there are variables; just didn't know if something simple existed.

KILLER TIME! You would have hit a 14.1 or possibly a 14.0 with an 8th like that... Darn that sucks you were not on a 1/4 mile track! I was going to go tonight to firebird, but the weather has been nasty... if it clears up good I will run tonight.

Ya thanks guys, it was pratice getting that time even. I'm sure that with better tires a 9 flat or a 8.9 would be possible, but still plenty of practice launches away. Haven't quite gotten down the right technique yet. But I'm going to California Speedway the end of this month, I'm crossin my fingers on that one...haha

the launch was pretty good. But I think with practice I can bring down my ET more. That was only my 3rd run having the s/c...so I dont have much track time with it.
