Sweet deal.. Everyones MPH was pretty low there last night, this guy in a vette was trapping 117 when he just trapped 121 at SAR a few weeks before and ran the same times.

^^^This... I think something with the timing system and speed play a part in the low MPH? Coulda been a run where he got a 1.7 60 also... I didn't sit and study the slip. It might still be in the truck or it blew out on highway 95

mph would have to be off well over 4mph even with a 1.70 60'. hell, if the mph is correct, he would need roughly a 1.45 60' time to get close to a 11.57. and if the 60' was 1.70 (sub 1.7 giving the benifit of doubt) he would need 135+mph. did all of the slips fall within the 10.60-10.90 range and consistant on the MPH? these numbers just arent talking to me lol. seeing the slip would help a ton. it's always possible that the truck is just a 1/8 mile monster, but i cant see that either with those 60' times.

Here ya go. Here are two other slips from the night. Can't find the 10.5x slip must have put it somewhere special to frame or something... These are close though..
Ricer math doesn't always add up... LOL

LOL, i know. which is why i called it ricer math. it's not always what you expect but it's pretty damn close most of the time. whats with people losing their best time slips lately? i still have my best from 3 years ago.

what happened on that 2nd slip? better time and mph on the 1/8 but lost mph through the 1/4. did something go wrong? out of curiosity, any motor times?

I think it has alot to do with the track (Temple)... they never even touch the track past the 1/8th. There is atleast some rubber/vht/prep up to the 1/8th mile marker, the rest of the track might as well be a county road lol
