Says he who put a 260 HP Mustang into the wall… :rolleyes:

Why not let the kid get some practice and then see what he runs. I doubt anyone can hop right into a 900hp car and bust out amazing times without any practice.

Come up on race day. I’m sure then u will click off a 10 sec run. I quit goin to TNT for 2 reason’s.

1. Too many street cars
2. Poor track prep

On racedays i get 1.33 - 1.34 60’s on TNT’s i get 1.35 - 1.36

On a side note too. You may find your car may go slower with a better 60

Also watch how you stage the car. Difference between a shallow stage and a deep stage can be as much a .08 for some cars

Shallow staging will give you faster et ( more roll out ) you are really getting a rolling start before the tree goes green. A car like mine that pulls the wheels out of the beams has alot less affect

eat what…“out of the box” means first time out, you’re already out of the box…maybe you should have said “well…maybe after a lot of practice i’ll get somewhere in the 11s…and if i keep driving it i’ll eventually get into the 10s…and if i’m lucky i’ll see 9’s”

and 3 psi on your car is not enough to add .9 seconds
