Finally went 10.50s yesterday at local championship round . DA was around 13/1400 from 1/4s
Went 10.572 on brake , 10.584 on brake then broke out in final with a 10,538@120.96 on the brake . We both had crap lights my worst had been 0.77 until then
Had some Viking Crusader AM shocks really changed how the satellite launched , drove out of the hole instead of snatching the front up . Finally got a good sixty
Thanks again for all the help

Mick Thanks Mick . Funny enough all previous 7 passes were 1.485 to 1.5 sixty though i expected to run 1.45/6range to get the et.So not sure why the big gain . But i won't complain Sgcuda , my goal was a 10.5 something , others talked up a bigger et . See how it goes next month , as the air cools off and goes dryer. I guess i still have the dominator to try Hell i love running fast  but that sandtrap is getting closer Here ks 1st pass with the Viking shocks https://youtu.be/ep6YnvDe_aMTex

So potentially coming closer into its tune up . Still not sure big 60foot pickup Tex What were your other 60' that day.. were they in line with that one.. or was that a odd one.. its nice to see a GOOD one but not if its a odd ball.. I look at the odd ball ones more than I do the normal ones to see WHY EDIT If you wheel stand like I do that can be a factor.. on a good weather day I can get a slow 60'.. I have found via video that the rear wheels are what clicked the 60' lights..and not the fronts but it does catch my attention

no relation to earlier .
They went - 1.493,1.49,1.486,1.501,1.485,1.483,1.485 then 1.456 .
Only thing different there was a 30-45 wait whilst a ambulance took a rider for observation . They were dragging the track during this down time but seemed mostly top end where accident occurred .

The Vikings are on the rear? which model? What are you running up front?
I was struggling the end of last year to hook, but I am running 90/10's up front and rancho's in the rear full tight. My front rises very quick, but i could probably use more control in the rear too.
Faster, Faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death...
