Anyone do any 1/8th racing? Made it into the 6's and a personal best 60'

Went to a lame semi-local import drag event on Sunday. All the details are in a kills thread, but i wanted to update the drag guys since i pulled my best 60', 1/8th ET and MPH. My goal was to get into the 6's and I did.

Here is the video:

Here is the full slip, I'm on the left.

Nice. What brand and size tires? That's pretty damn good if you were on street tires. I went once a few weeks ago for the first time and pulled off a 1.9 60' with 255 Falken Azenis.

You must have been smoking everyone there. When I was at Irwindale in CA, there were only a handful getting into the 6's.

The tires are 26x10.5 - 16 ET Streets, DOT legal, but not really a street tire.

I was the fastest car there that day, but there weren't many people at all.

Damn, I wish we had a 1/8 mile track here in Colorado! That looks like fun!

Welcome to the six second club!
Congratulations on your 6 second 1/8mile run.
Should be deep into the 10's now with that 60ft.

Well done Zinx, I wish I could launch like that. Heres a comparison of my car
with similar power as yours but bad driver.
