New best on 18" Drag Radials.

Headed out to Dorchester today on my new MT Drag Radials 305/45/18.

On the 1st pass I barely squezzed the throttle trying not to spin. There wasn't even a hint of spin. I cut a 1.879 60', granted this is on a nicely prepped track (10.5 tire shootout tonight). The thing that surprised me was the 7.693@ 93.915 on the bottom of the slip. I thought maybe I messed up the tune and had too much timing for 93 ocatane. Or even the E.T. lights at the track were messed up. Well I decided to make another pass in the other lane to make sure it wasn't a fluke. With almost no cool down, this was my next run:

On the way home I caught up with Randy and verfied the timing was correct for 93 octane. After the disapointing time I had last weekend I was pretty happy with these results. I know it's still not a 6.99, but it's a new best for me.
