It's all right. The traction was AWFUL. I think I got 2 mediocre runs in, 13.0 and 13.1 the rest were just my backend sliding out. Pobably next year when the weather is slightly nicer.

I found the same thing at NED. 13.0 is a great time with those conditions on runfats! I did ~96 octane on JB2H last time, and was spinning tires in every gear, and managed a 12.91. If I plan to do more than a couple events a year, I'll spring for some DRs. The 100 octane mix was a waste of $60 for me, since it only added to the loss of traction. Even so, it was really fun! I remember cupcakes from that night too. :biggrin:

Was it busy, or did you guys get a chance to get in a bunch of runs?

Not busy at all, we left before 8 and each had 6 runs in or more.

i launch from like 1k rpms. With a JB3 tho at NED with poor track prep and RFTs, it's almost impossible to get traction in first and second. My best was 13.3 @ 108... terrible

+1 Also launched at 1200 rpm. Would spin tires in every gear too.

I cannot hook up at NED. Best I could get is 12.93 sec.
