New Best ET

#1 Post by Rick M » Sun Apr 29, 2007 2:09 pm

Took a little bit to figure out how to bring the power in after four passes on the glide ran a 5.52 @128.53 with a 1.31 60ft on drag radials.

Thanks guys I doubt that we will run at the tulsa shootouts all they have is limited street and we don't have that much power. According to an ET conversion chart it should be around an 8.56 but I don't know how accurate they are.

Hey Bob thanks and just curious how far out do you think it carried the tires? Everyone seems to think my 60ft was with the back tires.
