im sure you will be in the 12 's soon
Lower your rear tire presure to 27 lbs.
this will help.

Yea, I was wondering about the tire pressure. I usually lower it for auto cross but wasnt sure how much or how little for the drag.

nice theory. Anyone else do this?

Although I don't care as much about reaction time because its not factored into my final qtr mile time

Yea, I am a dumb *** and didnt think about driving through the water and getting my tires wet. I was too caught up in the moment. I will either drive around next time or do a small tire spin to clean them off.

Thanks for all the feedback guys!
