ran at Rocky Mountain Race Way for the first time ever... over all it was fun. a supercharged 30th Anniversary T/A and i were the first two to run at the midnight drags. nothing like two LOUD extinct birds !! making our presence know. my buddy cody said i had a bad ass burn out on run #1 and the crowd was roaring... 2nd run not the greatest and i got yelled at for not shutting her down fast enough after passing the 1/4mile line and i through in the towel after that. and after run 1 i was told by track officials that i need a helmet if i wanted to continue. the father of the kid driving the T/A was nice enough to send his other son to get the extra so i could race again.

run 1: ........... run2:
R/T: .565 ....... .557
60': 2.112 ........ 2.177
330: 5.662 ........5.854
1/8: 8.588 .......8.777
MPH: 86.33 .......85.72
1000: 11.055 ......11.250
1/4: 13.103 .......13.308
MPH: 108.61 .......108.27

Any idea what the DA was when you ran? Not trying to bash your car but my bolt-on car trapped 108. Your car should trap in the 120s.

DA does not affect boosted cars as bad as NA cars so that is not an issue, i do think my buddy over there needs to focus on driving :finger:

Even with "bad driving" the mph is really low.

My MINOR bolt on car has trapped higher :(

That car should be wayyyy higher I believe.

A turbo'ed 385CID, depending on setup (h/c/CR) should be in the mid-upper 120s. I was trapping 118 on my 8 psi s-trim, LTs, stock h/c setup.

That can really screw with a boosted car.
