The last trip to the Auto Club Dragway at Fontana, CA (1/4 mile) I ran 10 runs in the mid to high 11's. My best run was 11.611 @ 115.10 mph.
Two weeks ago at Irwindale, ca strip (1/8 mile) I ran a consistent 7.361 sec @ 94 mph.
I think that I can do better as I'm still working on getting off the line without breaking the tires loose.
