Last night @ Sac- 12.3@119.7...1.97 60ft. On ET Streets, still sliding in 1st and 2nd. My driving sucks (haven't driven in over 3 years) and track prep was non-existent. I felt like putting a call out over the loud speaker for Drew. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) I guess I need to do ALOT of practicing! ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)

Its allways fun to get out on the track after you've been away for a while. With some more practice and a better 60ft You should go deep into the 11s. What PSI did you run the et streets at?

I started at 20 psi, worked down to 12. Seems to hook the best at 14-15 psi. I think I'll stick with 15...I didn't like the feeling at the top end with 12. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

LOL I went down one time and about 2/3 of the way down the car was all over scared the crap out of me turns out I had 12.5 in one tire and 10 in the other made for a crazy ride but you get used to it. 12.5-13psi works good for my car. When I get my car done we will have to go get Jim and go out and run some cars.

UPDATE! Went out for Grudge night...13 runs! How's a new time of 11.7@117!!!! The best part? The car is full street trim...I even ran the AC all the way to the track.
A big thanks goes out to Fasterdammit (Jim) and Wes for their help tonight. Couldn't have done it without you guys! ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
