Who the hell sets their car up to run 10's at 117?? There is no way man. Not even bracket cars.....That is a little exaggerated. If you were running 10's at 117 flat out, your car is really f'ed up in the gearing of it in either the trans, rear or both! You would probably blow your motor too as it would be screaming at the top end. A 117 trap is right about an 11.40 player on a properly setup car, maybe a litte faster or a little slower depending on how it gets out of the hole. Now granted, I have seen the opposite on a 12.0 footbrake bracket car purposely setup to run 121 traps. Now that is cool!!
