I might have done better if I had a set of slicks plus you have to factor in the R/T
The magazines start the timers as soon as they hit the gas. If you subtract my .600 R/T then you have a high 14 sec car.
That is why so many people are suprised when they take their cars to the track and they run no where near the times the magazine articles ran.
I'm not making excuses or anything like that but it's true.
I had a little trouble with traction but I think slicks would solve that problem and reduce my ET a few more tenths.
I have no idea what the altitude was but I can find out.
