I'm getting closer and closer. It will happen soon without a doubt judging by a few of the slips I got tonight. I had a tough time getting back into my groove launching on the slicks. The first four launches I made were all followed by really bad bogging. My first launch was funny! It had been so long since I launched so hard on the slicks, I got pushed back far enough into my seat that I could just barely reach my steering wheel and pedals!! Forgot to adjust the seat! :D
It was pretty much around 1700-1800' DA all night. I got a new best trap of 104.99 and 105.32 on the slicks. Previous best was 103.85 in Orlando in April.
I started with redline launches on the first two, a 5800 RPM (just short of bouncing off the rev limiter basically) 3rd launch, and a 5000 RPM 4th launch. The 4th launch was TERRIBLE.. I think I actually got my foot off of the gas for a split second during launch, too.. DOH! The 5th launch was at 5500 RPM and it was perfect. I followed up by launching at 5500 RPM the rest of the night and you can see my 60' times and ETs.
I can't believe I haven't run a 13.0 since Bradenton on May 4th. I haven't gotten a 1.6 60' since July 9th. And I've NEVER run 1.6's as consistently as I did at the end of the night tonight!

I dunno about the correction on that 13.057 run. The weather that day was crazy HOT but I somehow think that correction is WAY off. DA that day was around 2500' and the temp was about 91 degrees.
