Yeah, so I've heard. Second gear just seems to be another burnout. I even tried shifting at 7K. I'm probably going to throw some Nitto 555R 245/50ZR16's on my stock wheels, and move my new Falkens up front. That was also only the third time I've raced at a track. New tires, a few suspension tweaks, and some practice might get me into the 12's. Any other ideas?

Brooks never ran an 11.21 I don't think... He ran the 11.42 at 120 that is listed for Brian Dowling (Brian didn't run it, Brooks ran it and Brian took over his car/website).

Suggesting for people having a hard time getting traction, try dropping the air pressure in the rear tires and heating up the rubber before you start (either burn it up or buy a tire warmer).

Fastest time officially is 12.1 @ 114mph with a 1.83 60 ft....however many times I have had a 1.70 60 ft but I miss 3rd gear or start spinning the tires causing my 2nd gear not to pull as hard. If I powershift all the gears my mile per hour has been as high as 117.89 mph. This week I should have no problem pulling a 11.7 as long as I pull everything together on the same run!
