talk about embarrassing some one !!
All of my launches were loading the converter, at around 2500rpm or so, for some reason I didn't try launching from idle, and there was a strong headwind the whole evening. Pushing a barn door into it had to knock a few mph's off. Certainly something in the 7.9's and close to 90mph in the 1/8 would not be expecting too much?

Maybe add a Superbird nose?

I could probably find some old articles or pictures from the van crazy era of the 70's to get some aerodynamic ideas!!! NOT!! Haha!!
No better time to hit the track again than on a Good Friday. And it's been pretty good for me. Different 1/8 mile track, out in the woods and they're having time slip issues and some other bugs, but directly from the printed sheets from the tower to handwritten slips , my second run of 7.92@ 86.36 and 60' etc are all bests. Wired up a AEM wideband a few days ago, got it close. And worked on pinion angle and snubber. Getting there, where? no idea!

I have... one 1/4 track about an hour away, that is only open one weekend a month and another 1/4 track about 2 1/2 hrs away. The only other drag strip in my state is 450miles away.I got three 1/8 mile tracks all 45 minutes from me either way I go......one north, one west and one south!
Hey man, isn't Sacramento still open? We also have Sears Point (I refuse to call it Sonoma raceway or infineon or whatever other corporate name is may have this month but this is another matter entirely).
About 4 hours from reno.
Have you tried flashing it ?All of my launches were loading the converter, at around 2500rpm or so, for some reason I didn't try launching from idle, and there was a strong headwind the whole evening.

Could one of those be Ware Shoals?
The 7.92 run I ran I think I brought the rpm's up to about 1100 or so then mashed it. The next run I brought it up to about 2000 then went, ran a 7.93@86 and a 1.75 60'. I have to go out on a back road and really practice, pay attention more to what I'm doing. I'm green big time, gotta learn to focus more.
That's a good hour and a half from me, been by there many times, I know they run friday nights and have good turnout. Last night was at Union County Dragway, the track prep was impressive, the grip was excellent, (they are under funded and under staffed but great people and I hope things improve for them) The others are Greer Dragway and Shadyside.
If He's at Fallon ... (Top Gun ?) elevated, that's a awesome time....
Was at Union County Dragway South Carolina. Not familiar with Fallon
The op isn't in Nevada.. that would be me. Didn't mean to hijack lol. I did not make it to Fallon today, but I did get some drag radials for when I do make it.
