Sometimes a complete lack of traction like that can hurt your mph.

Only one way to find out ... fix it and throw some slicks on

Don't forget, that is with a slipping clutch also. I know I'll lose some MPH with a better launch, but I will gain some back when I can bang the gears again.

I'm guessing 13.2-13.3 on street tires and 12.8-12.9 on my slicks

I'm guessing you are correct. I ran 12.90 @ 106 w/ a 1.805 60 ft on drag radials. Good job none the less. My pass was with a weight of 2450 plus my 200lbs.

I was 200 when I saw you at the track. Thats right Zak's mom and I made it official. Zak needs a good Father figure to straighten his dumb ass out. Now if I can just teach him how to drive. BTW typegay I mean typeR it sounds like there are gonna be a few people making it out to Runday Sunday next week. You in?
