Did something break on it causing it to hit the wall or was it that fast?

the track conditions didn't seem that good to me, cars that r supposed to run 13's stock were hittin 14's and even 15's...(ws6's, gt's and ss maros)

last time i went i hit a 13.9 on bald ass tires

this time i added some bfg radials, a 70mm t body and bumped my timing and hit the same damn time ??? i was pissed

I think the extra hot pavement was hurting traction as well. I don't know if more VHT would have helped in that heat.

after reviewing my time slips, i figured out why i couldnt break a 13.9. on all 4 passes my trap speed was 98 mph. no matter how i launched same speed.
my 60 ft times were .4 better then the last time i went, i just simply run outta gear in 4th. damn 4:10s and the motor wont make power after 5,500.so i was in 4th for atleast 1/2 a second b 4 i hit the traps after my 5,300 shift light came on.

4.10s are PERFECT if not 4.30s for your car as it sits. 3.73s would slow your ass down.

98 MPH is plenty for a 13.9 on a stock motored 5.O:

The gears aren't your problem, its your 60 ft (and probably 1-2 shift).

You're right. The track wasn't prepped for your high 13 second car to hook. How did Norman manage? Hell mine wasn't all that shabby either. 10.95 @ 118 getting out of it at the end.

Sorry, but the track prep did suck. Out of 4 runs that I got there wasn't one that I could stay on the throttle. The left lane was definitely the worse of the two but the right lane wasn't all that great either. Mine has never been so out of control as it was that day at Sac. Norm got traction due to his steam roller size tires and the fact that he had actually detuned the motor somewhat.

OK, I am glad I am not the only one that thinks that left lane sucked, I only got to run in the right once but the run itself felt a lot better
than ALL of the left runs combined.

I agree with John91coupe, the track absolutely sucked!! I do agree it was a hot day, but I've been up there on hot days like that (when the track was prep'd) and the track hooked really good. I actually got a chance to see what it felt like to be John Force in my car (spinning the tires all the way down the track). After doing that twice (and almost hitting the wall once) I called it a day. I'm pretty sure John91coupe had a good impersonation of Force also. [Confused] I guess you can't have a good outing every time.

my best 60 ft was a 1.8
my worse was a 2.1

on all 4 runs with good shifting everytime.. my trap speed was 98 mph everysingle time no matter how good or bad i launched or how i shifted.

highofftiresmoke,

What was the temp humidity and BP of the 1st trip and what was it the second? Weather plays a MAJOR role in how a car runs.

i think he was referring to the 2 different trips to the track.what was the weather like the first time out vs. the last time out.
