What the heck, I got a new best also

It wasn't what I was hoping for but still a new best for the 96....

RT ----- .786 (Don't remember was I was daydreaming about there)
60' ----- 2.085
330 ---- 5.668
1/8 ----- 8.562
MPH ---- 85.55
1000 --- 11.044
1/4 ---- 13.137
MPH ---- 108.47

previous best was 2 years ago 13.5 @ 110
can't believe it has been so long since I run it

I hate when you are right at the edge of the time bracket. That's what i'm dealing with the trailblazer.

why would you want 17's anyway? The point of a drag wheel is weight saving. 17's would weigh more and wouldn't be that much of an advantage.

Mainly the 15's give more sidewall to flex over 17's

true, but LS1 stock brakes work pretty well. Plus wouldn't draglites be offered in 17's if there was that much of a demand for them?

Anyway, nice lt1. Talk to Ron about some weight reduction and you'll be in 12's all day long.

That last run was a joke. Aside from them pushing everyone in the left lane onto the right lane after dude blew up at the line, just so they can get us out of there. Then the civic 2 cars ahead that blew up at the line, and they said ... eh..just go. The burnout guy walking away, and the guy at the line telling me to hurry and get up there.
