According to the timing booth, I was the only person at the track tonight with a .500.:) I have had a few .501's and .502's but this is my first .500. I was racing Scorp and realby concentrating on my launch. It didnt pay off, I still lost, but at least my light was good.:D

Dude, what do you run in that toy nowadays?
And also, do you use different drag radials in the back?
Since switching to 17's I can't get under 13.6 with mine.. :cry

I am running low 13's most of the time with 17" Nitto drag radials. I made a couple of 13.2@102 passes last time but only managed to pull a few 13.4@101 last night. I have major alignment and suspension issues I need to address to get the car to launch. I still haven't made a WOT launch so my converter isn't doing much. After I swapped in the Dana44, I never aligned the rear and it is SO whacked out, toed and cambered BAD. I also need to do something about the ride height, it looks like a 4X4 with the new KYB's. I think the spring is set wrong.

Nice job but to be honest .500 as well as .499 are all luck. :cheers:

REDGAR

Congrats. That is a nice time slip to keep

Good job on the .500! Can describe how you did it, react to the tree?

Thanks

Yeah, its about 95% luck.:D If I launch right at the third yellow, I almost always seem to cut a .490-497. If I wait a little, usually mid .550's. I just caught it at the exact point where I needed to.

Are you deep staging or just touching the lights? :rolleyes:

Congratulations!!! That is QUITE the accomplishment. A friend of mine has had his time slip laminated. Keep it up.

Fastguy

Just touching the stage beam, I don't deep stage. Its all in the burnout.:D:D:D:D:D:D\
