Not Ranked
Thanks for the snappy reply Phil, so you're saying they really didn't care that it was running low 12's or possibly 11's??
It's hard to tell without knowing all the details of the vehicle, but at a guess I reckon you should be able to run around 11.7 with 60ft times of high 1.6X or low 1.7X.
Don't run any more than 20PSI in the ET radials (I run 10.5psi), and remember to heat them up.
A few Drag Racing tips for anyone that is interested:
Don't do your burnout in the middle of the water, roll to the far edge of the water, (otherwise you'll get water on your tyres as you roll out of the pad).
Try to "shallow stage" your car. After you've lit the pre-stage lights (bottom set of white lights) roll very slowly into full stage (top white lights). You want to just bring the top lights on. This will give you the maximum amount of roll-out and produce the best possible ET.
Don't worry about your reaction time, just go when you are ready (unless you're in competition obviously). Your reaction time has no bearing on your elapsed time and MPH. You could wait until the person next to you has crossed the finishline then go and still end up with a quicker ET than them.
