Was a great nite for racing as the DA was pertty good. I did have a problem on the 2nd run with fuse pulled as i have had this 2 other times. It seems to go into a limp mode if the tires spin to much when i clean the water off the tires as we cant drive around the water box here. Heres my times.The only changes i have done since last time out was the camber specks as i put 2 new tires on the front because of the wear problem we have because we cant rotate them. My guy went from - 3/4 to -1/4 camber so it wouldnt ride so much on that inside edge. Cant really say if this helped at all on the new times.

i dont mean to sound like a ****... but to me knowledge you cannot covert an awd time in the 1/8 to the 1/4 with the standard calculators... the jeep's 0-60 is much faster then a rwd car that has the same 1/4 time... so it should actually be around a 12.8 corrected i would say...

Corrected ET & SPEED is the same no matter what drive you have. The only ones you dont correct is S/C T/C AND THE JUICE
The only diff between AWD & RWD is at the launch which is why the 60' is much better with the AWD & RWD both on street tires. One of our jeeps has run both 1/8 & 1/4 and went 8.17@83.99 in the 1/8 and 12.83@106 in 1/4. Only diff between this jeep and mine is the race wt which is 146 lbs lighter than mine.

1/4 mile is great but GC SRT8s surprise a lot of people on the 1/8 th mile:)

Great runs Jim. The floor mats are a definite key. Did you push the side mirrors back too? Or is that only for the 1/4 mile:)
