1bad6 called BS on the 60ft times cause all those passes were made on street tires.

Thanks
Chris

What street tires (make/model/size), and what was done to the car prep wise?

That is a hell of a 60' for street tires on a FWD GP.

FWIW, looks like the slip says 1.94 60' to me, and the 330' and 1/8 mile times reflect that as well... Either way, if it does say 1.74, its quite obvious its a glitch (i.e. a leaf or something blew in front of the beam b4 u got there) based on the 330', 1/8, 1000', 1/4 times matching pretty closely that of other passes with 2.0xx 60s

I don't know dbtk2 if you look the 330 time it 5.7xxx his closest 330 time besides that run was 5.85xx with a 60 of 2.1xx most of the other 330's were5.9xx or 6.0xx I don't think that shows any sort of cosistency at all if you look at his reaction time it is also .5 faster then any other run I think maybe he was just in the zone for 1st part of that run. I don't claim to be an expert or any thing oh and it is clearly 1.74 on my screen which is 21 inches and hd so that helps me see a little better

+1...the 1.74 run should have been deep into the 13's compared to the near identical run with the 2.0xx 60' time.

i have to agree it sure looks like it says 1.74 60ft. ohh and by the way that can be done. i pulled a 1.86 60ft once on snow tires at the track. the only problem with street tires is that they are inconsistant and it takes pure luck to get a good launch

so what we all should be concentrating on is not if he did it, but more of the fact they he did a hell of a job.
congrats on the great 60ft

thanks everyone for the comments. The tires are BFG Traction T/A 225/60/16. I had them set at 24 PSI and did not really do a burnout just got the water off the tires. They were preping with VHT between every round. I did not launch off of stall just kind of had it at about 1300-1500 RPM and then let out on brake and it would chirp the tires and then I would lay back in it and it just hooked that run felt like someone took at was pressing me in it chest for a short while.

Thanks
Chris
