Temp was 50F...pretty cool
Best run....
RT was .116
60ft 2.58 (lots of spin)
15.38 @ 90 mph
18x7.5 SSR GT7 wheels with kumho tires

I had a hard time launching without either bogging down or spinning the wheels. I also had trouble shifting into 4th (damn B&M short shifter) is so tight.

Better start doing some bracket events with those reactions

Was the above run with it being difficult going into 4th ? the mph seems low
