The DA for my 12.31 time was +602, made on Feb 8, a Funday Sunday at OSW. Here's the info from that run:
60' 1.818
1/8 ET: 7.953
1/8 MPH: 88.81
1/4 ET: 12.319
1/4 MPH: 111.21

Both runs show your driving skills are superb. Congrats.
Thanks cruzinquick, I go to the track as often as I can. These 2 runs shocked the crap out of me! I usually stage at around 1500 RPM and roll into the throttle. If I don't launch that way, I get massive tire spin. Last night, since I saw that the track was prepped, I figured I try what others have posted here... stage around 1600-1700 and floor it. That's what got me the 1.7x 60's.
As for my trap speed, I'm rather consistently running at 111 MPH, regardless of my ET. I did have one good night in January where I was hitting 112 for every run, with one run at 113 with ET's between 12.4x and 12.6x and 2.0 60's.
Until last night, I've been a little bummed out about my ETs. Others have been running 12.2's with the same mods I have. I've been chasing that ET since I got my LET tune in January, but the best I could manage were 12.3's. Goes to show that track prep is king!
