Sam, 90% of my runs were done here in VA, at around 150' above see level,
which is good, but we have terrible humidity. The track I run usually has
very good traction, with 60' times in the low 1.9's, if I get the 1.90-1.96
60', I'll run in the 14.5's .6's, as soon as I hit the 2.0 sec 60' mark I
quickly drop off from 14.7's up to 14.9's depending on air conditions, all
of these runs with Hoosier slicks. I ran 14.48 only one time,under nearly
perfect weather conditions, but have run in the 50's and 60's
consistently. Oh yea, if I run on radials, forget it, 14.8's at best, and
usually a bunch of 14.9's. That is a good MPH you are running, an
indication of wheel spin and street tires. once you get the traction problem
taken care of your MPH will go down, as well as your ET! You get those
slicks on there Sam, you'll be in the low 14's for sure!

See, your 1/4 mi times below... I can only manage
a 14.60 here in SD... But my speed is nearly 95 mph...
I can't hook up with all that torque at the track. Guess
I need slicks.
Go to Phoenix in October for the truckin nationals...
it will be good to see the 4.7s run out there.
