1/8 mile track results....how am I doing?
My home town hosted it's third annual 1/8 mile drags. The drags are held at our airport runway boasting next to no traction and wonderful speed bumps. Anyway, the best run I got (only made 3 on juice) was a 8.83 @ 94 mph.
Traction was pretty much nill, even with my ET streets.
I was kinda dissapointed, I was expecting at least mid - to low 8s but I suppose traction is the key and when you spray outta the hole that cant help to much.

nope 94....used a 100 shot all day. I was also very surprised at this....I even went to to booth to verify and they showed me. All day I was trapping no less that 90 mph on spray.

very possible....but how does that explain how I was trapping 90 mph all day long....guys there were running what they normally run at "professional tracks". I dunno, its very possible.....thats why I want to know how Im doing and if this sounds right etc etc...

All I will say is the ET is way low for a 94mph run! Although with your mods and a 100shot, that mph is very possible, but you should be running like 7.4' or 7.5's!
I know guys with pretty much stock LS1's.(catback, lid, nittos, 100shot) That run 7.5's @ 94mph!
