Well, here's my 8 runs @ Carlsbad. Temp for 6 of 8 runs
was in the mid 70's, and the last 2 were in the mid to low
60's with high humidity (Fog rolling in from Ocean)

----------------------------------------------------------
1.068 2.518 --- 10.121 71.86 15.622 90.70
*Lots of wheel spin off line, into 2nd, and chirp 3rd

1.041 2.560 --- 10.294 70.48 15.881 89.52
*BOGGED offline, no wheel spin, not enough gas!
Plus I'm still learning those darn lights!! :P

.903 2.495 6.704 10.141 71.15 15.685 89.84

*Waited 60 seconds for the guy to stage!, then he red
lighted!! HA HA Hammered into 2nd while spining 1st..

This was against and EAGLE talon, 4wd turbo...

Best race of the day was against a 5.0 mustang LX with
K&N, exhaust, etc.

mine

No wheel spin, little sping/great pull when shifting
...I was pleased!

Final race: The '96 Z28 Camaro red lighted, heres mine:
.848 2.453 6.838 10.156 71.77 15.705 90.14

So, with BFG's and lots of wheel spin I was able to
get a best of 15.425 @ 90.70 mph...
