:lol: Who cares about his reaction time... I'm sure he was just trying to work on the best launch to get the best pass possible... and I also saw the sarcasm in Sean's post from the get go

Jokes, jokes jokes... congrast on the run 90GSX.

What kind of fuel did you use? VP, Sunoco, leaded, unleaded??

85-90 deg & very humid, it began to rain only a few minutes after that run.

Concerning reaction times, it was just a test & tune night, so I wasn't paying attention to the light.

Hopefully I'll see the times drop dramatically on the nitrous.

Thanks,

A better reaction wouldn't improve his et. A better 330'(1-2 shift) would though.

Good job 90GSX.

Because it's full weight GVR4. I've ran what you've ran with a 20G and only trapping 114mph.

Any other questions please email or pm. No need to ruin 90GSX's thread.

because you probably did NOT go 118 mph. the timing system at carlsbad SUCKS ASS. if you want to race your car, come to a better track that has received some updates since the 70s.

maybe its just me, but entering the track on a DIRT ROAD is not my forte......
