Baytown 1/4 mile

[FordLover]

Well, I went down to Baytown last night and made 4 passes. I had a **** of a time launching, more so than I've ever had in the past. My worst time came when I spun really bad off the line, I got a 15.6@93MPH
Then launching and bogging it, I got a 15.2@94MPH
then again I launched, spun a tad too much, got a [email protected].
I then lowered the air pressure in the front tires from 45PSI to 32PSI, hoping to pick up some traction. Well, I spun a bit too much, and made another 15.1@94MPH pass. I believe had I lowered the air pressure sooner, I could have done a little better getting the launch just right.
ahh well, till next time.

I never knew how that turned out....
Weren't you using street tires,,,wouldn't that take up some of the time? and how about weight, did you at least remove the rear bench and passenger seat..?
I know I would have.

Yeah, I had the rear seat out, and my extra junk I left at home, but everything else I left the same. Tires were really bald street tires, perhaps someone will build a 1/4 mile drag closer to home!
