    What mods do you have on your car? What size d/r's do you have?

    Nice Runs

    Great runs. I would have thought your 60' times would be a lot lower. I am running basic bolt ons, no NOS, on bald 255 F1's and am typically in the 1.9's. 1.915 was my best last time out.

    I am not criticizing, just wondering. Do you roll into the throtlle or mash it?

    I thought that might be the case. Track Prep makes ALL the difference! Nice runs. Great times!!!
