Just larger rear tires would help out at minimal cost. 265's would be great.


FWIW, I've been disqualified because I let off the throttle approaching the finish line. It was bracket racing now that I think of it.

Throw on some taller rear tires, you won't hit the rev limiter in 4th.

Yeah, I was trying to get into the 12's without shifting into 5th becuase that adds more time.

I shifted into 5th early in the previous run and I thought I made a mistake. I didn't realize I would hit the rev limiter in 4th. I was running faster than I expected.

60 ft times is what I have to work on. But with a sticky track, I was afraid of breaking my diff. It's completely stock.
