Got my 10.50s pass ,

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

Tex

Good for you man...........

Congrats!!!

Good deal. Now, on to 10.40's...

Decent 60 ft for a big car.
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

Is it possible that the track got better later in the day with more runs on it and less sunshine

Cab ,
maybe ?

Tex

Congrats.. what did your plugs tell you.. are
you just now coming into the proper conditions
for your set up

No plug pull , the air was a lttle better than when I chassis dynoed it . 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 .

Tex

Congrats on new best.

Congrats!

I went to a track over here, ran 1.47 60 fts and up, one run they prepped the track for a supercharged alcohol car, i ran after did a best ever 1.36 60ft.
Mick

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.

Congrats buddy !! Ron

Viking Crusader AM series on rear , QA1 single adjust on front .
I had ranchos on rear before , Vikings are night and day difference . Feels smoother plus view from outside shows not as abrupt lift/rise from car . I may have just lucked on a good setting after talking to Viking who were very helpful.
Don't forget I am running radials .

Tex

Mick , maybe that's it though I didn't see any spray .

Ron , thanks mate , finally got you

Tex

Thanks! I'm running radials as well, on a marginally prepped track...
I'll give Viking a call.

Congrats on hitting the .50's!

Front end jumps up quick...try stiffening up your front shocks next time out.

thanks

Tex

yes it always has , though it definitely is smoother now . I will have to wait for a T&T to try that .
