The rain finally let up enough in New England for the track to open for the first time in 2 weeks, but it just wasn't dry. The conditions were as bad as I'd even seen them at New England Dragway and everyone's results were the same.
After half a dozen passes with the 125 shot the best I could do was 13.53 @ 107.8mph. This was babying the car off the line just to avoid going sideways and not even using the nitrous until after the 60' mark. I'm a little dissapointed with the nitto drag radials because the best 60' of the night was 2.38 and I'd done 2.1 multiple times with my regular street tires. No combination of long or short burnouts would make them do anything but spin off the line.
Oh well, I can see by the trap speed the potential is there. If I could just hook up enough to get a 1.9 60' that right there would put me in the 12s. I guess I'll have to wait for the track conditions to improve over the summer.
I did happen to line up with an '05 Mustang GT and just beat his 13.6 with a 13.55, so that was a highlight.
