I agree with A39 .. I chased low e.t.s for years , when they moved the class I ran to 9.00 lowest in the class, I slowed my car down to run 11.50s and have never looked back . I still have a high ten second capable car but its throttle stopped down , I have triple the round wins that I had when I was running in the tens and two track championships to show for it. I am even getting away from running Sportsman / Street Eliminator ( 11.50 and slower , 500 full tree ) and am now exclusively running .500 pro tree and 11.50 index I have been very successfull so far and am loving it !
