I came to Florida to meet & race with Ray & Jason. Before coming, I got good vibes from them, & I was right.
Not only are they good guys, but also smart with their approach for improvements, and also talented drag racers.
As for me, everything that could go wrong did
The wheels/tires I bought to possibly improve my times & stabilize my ride, did not fit!!! Also, 1st racing night (Wed.) I could NOT get traction & could not get into second gear
Had this problem before, last summer at Lebanon valley. Was not a happy guy! What must they have thought of me
Finally on Friday, after again missing 2nd. gear, I started to go through the 1/4 in more than one gear. 12.896 @ 107+ 12.910 @ 107+ then a 12.872. Not my best, but at least in the 12's
One run I decided to go for it, 1.812 60' 5.309 330' then, YES, I shifted from second to fifth?
The 60' foot was by far my best 60' ever. What might have been?
but just wasn't in the cards.
Both Jason & Ray ran on STREET TIRES - AMAZING!
Ray's 12.8 was with stock gears, no tune, STOCK intakes, & test pipe back STOCK exhaust. OUTSTANDING!
Jasons unbelievable 12.2 was with only bolt-ons. AMAZING!
