    wow your time could be alot lower just with some better 60's. reaction is the time it takes you to move. 60 foot time is the time you cross the begining light to the time you past the 60 foot. reaction time has nothing to do with that. you can have a 2 min reaction time and still have a 2 sec sixty.

    you can also stage very shallow in the box. there is a little bit of room from when you light the lights up to when you pass the starting lights. if you stage like this you can get a little bit of a running start before starting your time.

    work on those 60's tho man you can problew cut atleast half a second off your time if not more.

    load up a little bit, maybe 2000 rpm, not to much, dont wanna spin then roll into the throttle as fast as you can with out spinning. i manged a 2.1 on 42 psi in my tires. if i would have droped the psi i might have been able to get a 2.0


    the main thing is get off that line as fast as you can without spinning

    were your 60's getting better each time?? and were you spinning??

    if you had a 2.1 60 compared to your 2.6 you would problew run low 15's
