Got a New to me 21 SRT

[mantisSRT]

Welcome to the Forum, I'm also from Bucks County!

I see you got to race at one of my favorite tracks, Atco known as the track with the "Magical Air"

I loved Atco, I got to race the weekend before they closed. Its was May 26 2023 to be exact. I made all 11 second passes that night. 11.8 , 11.7,11.8 was hot the night went. My MPH stayed around 117 with one pass I hit 118.7 which was the fastest the car ever went.Funny that pass was 11.8 with a 1.7 60 ft and my 11.7 was a 1.6 60 ft with 117 MPH.
Either way it was a send off to a track I made hundreds of passes over the decades I have been racing there.

Maple Grove is not the same. My best pass there was a 11.8 @ 116 with a 1.7 60 ft. D/A is never great there and it was a bit on the warm side with high Humidity. I could not get out of a 11.9 and 11.8 passes no matter what I did or how cool I got the car.

...Hellcat Warp Speed 20 x 9.5 wheels ... Nexen 275/40R20 Drag Radials ...

Without traction, ET's disappear. So the wheels & tires on a prepped surface would be where the 11.7's came from.

Ask me how I know this. Lol

... On the street by best ever was a 3.9 with a set of Continental DWS-06 Plus tires in the stock size 275/40/20 ...

RacerX (an extremely experienced drag racer) couldn't even break out of the 5's on the street after multiple attempts with a Scat Charger.

The question is what speed measuring device were you using and did it verify for level surfaces.

On the street I did it in an industrial park which has flat roads. I used the Cars Computer that logs 0-60 times.
Racer X was trying to do so with 245 stock tires on his Wife's Challenger. I have 275 tires on Dynamics package wheels. Much better traction and they put the power down easier.
Racer X is experienced , I know I talk to him .
