Does your truck fall off on the big end?

The reason I ask is because my best 1/8 is 8.096@86.40 but on that run I hit 12.640@108.33.

Just curious.

I'm going to have to say yes. I ran under the same conditions as I did this past March (87-88 degree weather)
That's when I ran a 7.99

I haven't had a chance to run the 1/4 since last Nov.
I'll be back @ HRP in the near future.
I'll be shooting for 12.40-12.50

Ron, not saying your wrong, but Bob said the track was very well prepped today..........which is the first time I had heard that at HMP. You may want to make some more runs before you make that statement.

You must be referring to this statement:

I didn't have a traction problem that particular day in March.
Never theless, the track was awesome today!

Track prep is everything, what was your last 60 compared to this???? Did it drop a 10th????? One best 60 ft. can be becuase of a lot of factors........not making life hard....but I am trying to see what lowering a truck to that level will do all the time. Take it to HRP than you will get a better idea.

Well, My previous best 60' was 1.78 and todays was 1.74.
I borrowed shane's 11.5"(20PSI) Hoosiers for todays run.
I was running my 14.5 (17PSI)Hoosiers back in March.
