Default I almost got in the 9 sunday with a D1

Well I almost got into the 9s. my first run was a 10.06 but i lifted at the end ony traped 130.85 60ft was 1.471 1/8 was a 6.44 at 108.51 but it got loose at the end so got back in line to make another run and they shut the track down for about 2 hours for a wreck well it was dark by this time made another run spun bad 60 ft was a 1.512 1/8 was a 6.463 at 108.43 and the 1/4 at 10.06 at 137.57 then it was time to close the track so I think I will be in the 9s if I go back

Thanks Modern Day Muscle Car

Great numbers Rob.

Is that a stick or auto car? If it's an auto I'm curious about the convertor size that allows for 1.4 and 1.5 60's.

Stock cube motor?

vid doesnt work for me...i get some text gibberish.

Get rossler to send you a t-brake....full electronic shifts...and it will stall big time when the boost hits the converter. Then you keep your tight stall and lose the weight of the spray
