    Default Memorial Day race

    I sucked...

    60' varied from 1.58 to 1.68....ET from 11.38 to 11.51
    I was out in Pro after two rounds, Sportsman in 4 rounds.

    Other than a .06 red, worst light I've cut in the past two events has been a .103, had a couple double 00s. Most lights are better than .07

    Getting frustated here....Nothing like cutting a .007 but losing because you spun, my wife said the track announcer said if I could get the thing to hook I'd be a deadly, it spins so bad it turns sideways, but next pass it sticks and I break out...WTF am I doing wrong?

    I aborted one pass in the left lane, it was just too loose at 600' to stay in it.

    Was this at your usual track? It didn't look like the temp was too high. You just had that thing dialed in. Greasy track?

    I'd like to call it a greasy track, but it cut a couple 1.58 60's and ran a 11.38, all that in a sea of 11.44s and worse. Temp had nothing to do with it.
    Next Mopar Points race is at night, that will help

    Tires look like they're on the verge of running over itself.

    I say you need to slow the front down more. You get that doorslammers book?

    I agree on slowing front, maybe 1 click. Believe rear settings are bigger problem, need to slow extension more, would say 2 clicks.
    Then again this would be for track conditions that night, not every night.
