I agree, if I used the proper technique, I could have a lower 60-130 # but my point was that # doesn't mean much if the cars are making similar power and you're starting at the same speed.
I only got involved in this 60-130 thing after our fun runs and then Vince and Vinod asked me to run one just to see.
I put the thing on my windshield, somehow found a hole in the traffic, slowed to 55mph and floored it - not a lot of technique  |
No Jason, it's not important. BUT, when you pull up next to a guy on the hwy, who you know has the same power as you, or pretty close, and he walks you on the highway by a car or 2 or 5, then it will be important
. I know this!!!
So when you decide you really want to try to get a decent number, now you know how to do it. For me, it became a competition to MYSELF to learn how to drive my car better and run better times, thats the only reason I really cared. After many, many, many tries and not improving, I figure I'm driving my car to best of MY ability, and my times are respectable for my mods. You will be there too, when you care
