I got new times today. My car was using a full tank of 93 with about 200lbs of tools in the trunk and crappy 205/55/16 firestone tires. So i had some traction issues. Also i ahd bad creep in 3rd so i only was about 60-70% throttle hallf way into 3rd.
The best run of the day after 5 back to back passes was

reaction : .755
60 ft: 1.869
1/8 e.t.: 8.488
1/8 mph: 81.839



Im hoping with my 3 toolboxes out of the trunk and all my junk and my 225/45/17 k104 summer tires on i should be able to cut a 1.7 60ft and maybe a 8.2-7.9. Also my run today was super rich. I was blowing black smoke out of the exhaust all day. I looked at the logger and it was rich but with the creep problem i was afraid to lean it out anymore
Im ssure the track haviong a gravel area you ahve to go through doesnt help with traction neither.
 
i think i got my creep worked out. going to try and go back soon. im hoping for at least a 7.9
