The 60' was 2.0 in each case. I don't know much about timeslips, but it seems 113 is good and 12.69 isn't. So, there was a mismatch between my speed and my time, I should've been getting better times I guess. Probably, the 60' was significantly too slow.


First three drag times. I guess that 12.7 is about what this car is worth in this iteration. Street tires, 285mm. Humid and 70* in MD.
It's all about the sixty foot. Install some DR's with decent sidewalls and you'll be in at least basement 12's consistently.
