I see the problem Thump, When you launch get a 1.34 60 ft pull her into second. You don't then pound on the brakes, you pound on the throttle. Problem solved. [/quote]

Dom unless you are going toward the wall or the centerline, stay on it!

If you get the BIG # then get kicked out. You accomplished a goal and save wear and tear on slicks, engine and fuel.

It takes seat time to get used to the track, just like it did for the street.

Good luck buddy!

Again, I pounded the brakes to not get kicked of that's it and was far from scared, excited yes scared no and tried to do it again but then spun, got back in line and the lanes were closed...........

The pic is great

Dom, it wouldn't hurt to sit in your car before a race, and mentally as well as physically go through your chosen routine as many as 100 times! When you pull to the line the next time, you will not have any distracting thoughts, you know you are doing the right sequence of things!

Hindsight is 20/20, wish you would of stayed in it on that wheelie 1.34 60 ft. pass. Understand the issue of being kicked out, but that was the run you should of went with. Again though, hindsight is 20/20

Good idea cos I stink at track racing these days or maybe I always did and yes, I should of let it eat on that pass then have a beer and get dragged home...........Maybe this thu but pretty sure I have bruised or cracked ribs grappling on concrete on my birthday so I can barely breath now but may be ready Thursday...........

Grappling or Thumping

All things being equal if you had stayed in it your ticket should've looked like this on that run>

60 Foot E.T. : 1.34
1/8 Mile E.T. : 6.06
1/8 Mile Trap Speed : 112.12
1/4 Mile E.T. : 9.61
1/4 Mile Trap Speed : 139

As inconsistent as the track prep seems to be where you race and you chasing ET...you KNEW it was on a helluva run that first pass leaving hard w/ the wheels in the air, so why in the world did you lift???

Is there a video on here that I am missing?

Just my guess but I think Dom did the first couple hits to make sure his launch and 60'
Were where he wanted them as He and his car aren't certified to go as quick as he planned to go on his last hit of the Night which got cut short for his last run. Had he got that last hit he would've gotten a talking to and Dominic has no plans of upgrading his car for the few times he hits the track. Street Racer....

If you plan to abort a run go to at least the 330 timer. You will gain a lot more info to log.

Both and Josh is a beast and now both of us are gonna wear new scars and my ribs are jacked but no regrets just takes longer to heal at 57......

Been doin it that way for years w/good results sometimes but as pointed out the fist passes there are the best due to all of the street vehicles that kill the hook so next time one and done...........

I agree with Pittsburgh racer on this one, try to get it to the 330' mark then you have some info to work with.

That could of been a new best.

Agreed and I went a 1.40 6.15 @ 112.05 already...........

Is the Ford on spray from over here in Lancaster?

No, it's from Vegas or at least that's where he lived a while back but may move back here...............

Thump.....just curios what jetting you using in that 1230 cfm carb.? I no your on gas, just curios
