I will sandbag before slowing my car down. I seen someone got thrown out. I almost got thrown out. I have a rollbar and ran a 9.91 @ 141 with my new shocks.
The tech paid me a visit on the next run in the staging lanes. He said slow it down or go home.
I then ran a 9.88 @ 140 mph. I took the car to the trailer. It was a test and tune and my buddies were trying to convince me to give it another try. They said with my mph I could get into the 9.60's at least. I didn't risk it. I don't want to get kicked out. I'll let the heat blow over and sometime next year I'll make some shock setting changes and give it another try. They should change the 9.99 requirements like they did the 11.99 a bunch of years ago. It is a lot safer going 140 mph with a harness and a rollbar then it is going 120 mph with a lap belt.
