Wish I had known you were coming....I would have ventured over there. Only 10 miles from my house.
They do a terrible job of prepping that track. Even for the 275 guys. Best I have seen there on their regular 275 nights is mid .80's or possibly a 4.82? High 4.90's and low 5.0's will make you game there most of the time.
Let me know if you venture this way again. I would love to see that fish in person.
You are correct on et as a low 80 has been the fastest...This is also a #52 jet limit class and the fast guys can go faster with more spray...We're currently using 44's and really want to stay away from the big jets till we max out these's...Next race is at Redline then back to the motorplex and will try to remember to let ya know when going back there !!
Let me know. I will bring the Dart out to try for some 5.30's N/A.
I have buddies at work that run that series with a white turbo Mustang. They have been 4.86, but are normally in the 4.9's.

Congrats on the new best! Once you get to a good track you'll have your 4 sec timeslip I'm sure. That car is bada$$! It sucks running on a bad track w/ radials. I spun and lost the final of a street car shootout last weekend.

Yes we are on the M/T Pro 275 drag radial. So far we are really liking it. It's our first drag radial experience so we don't have any other radial to compare it with but compared to slicks we like it way better. It is much more stable down track. Our car always walked around on the top end and now it stays stuck and it a straight line all the way down. You can't hit them as hard off the line as we could our 28 x 10.5 slicks but we still like them better.
