I wouldnt go to paradise on a bet. The ets are off and the mph is way optimistic.

the e/t's are pretty much dead on, the mph is what's screwed up. matter of fact, my buddies run a little slower e/t there than most other tracks b/c they can't 60' as good. i was talking about going for the same reason nick mentioned, to show the car. i figured while i was there i could do a little racing though, just wondering who was going to be there. i may have to come to dallas too, the car show is over around 3pm at pardise so i'd have plenty of time for dallas if they're open.

Nope the ets are off also. My coupe was only running 7.80s with a 1.62 60 at dallas at 89mph.Wna and i went to paradise and i went a 7.70 at 95 with a 1.80 60. This was also with 6 degrees pulled for the bottle that i didnt use.:D

the mph clocks are off ~3-4.5 mph. i thought i remember you saying it ran 93mph at paradise...actually i know that's what you said. i do remember you saying it went 7.78 there w/ a worse 60' but still happened to be a new best e/t so who knows. at any rate, i'm running at both tracks tomorrow so it doesn't matter. for what it's worth, nathan w/ the 99 cobra ran mid 7.60's at paradise w/ mid 1.6 60's but has run a best of 7.59 w/ a better 60' elsewhere so that's why i said the e/t's were pretty accurate (slower 60' and slower e/t w/ it) but the mph wasn't...

No my wife and myself have been since nick & i went just to see how far off it is.
