I went to the track this weekend and witnessed some terrible driving while I was there. There was a 500whp Supra there running 118-121 trap speeds....but his fastest et was a 14.4!!! It is obvious that the power is there but the idiot couldn't get his car down the track. There was also some guy making excuses in a mustang...he put skinnies on and slicks and was claiming to have 150 shot of nitrous, but he couldn't hit anything better than a 13.9. His excuse was that his car was running bad, but he continued to make passes with his poor running car...hmmm. My friend had a pretty good outing though...his CRX ran a 13.9 @ 101 on street tires and 13.6 @ 99 on slicks. I am sure he could have been at least a tenth faster if he would have played with the tire pressure a little and heated up the slicks better.
