So i went to the dragstrip tonight, terribly busy and i got there late, so i only got 2 runs in. 15.1 and 14.9. So i finally got that 14 mark i was looking for. Im sure with a few more runs i could have done even better, as my 60ft time dropped by 2 tenths the 2nd run, but i shifted early in each gear (the first run i hit the rev limiter in 2nd, so it screwed me).
Im attaching the 2nd timeslip (my 60ft time was great in my opnion, my previous best was 2.41)

FYI im the left lane. 2.1 60ft time (i let air out of my tire, 23psi, and i still could have gone faster as this yielded no spin).

It was bout 76 outside, humidity at 49% when i ran, and the track was in bad shape, 2 oil spills and 1 antifreeze. Clean as much as you want, still sucks lol.

My friend made 2 runs in my car last night, he kept his timeslips so i dont know the exact numbers. But he had a 2.2 and 2.3 60ft time. His times were 15.436 and 15.430 He also weighs 80 lbs lighter than me. He was makin fun of me because i still have my suitcase in the trunk, with pool sticks, baseball equipment, etc etc lol. If i could only teach him to shift and launch as good as me, he could take the car to a 14.6 run at least (after taking the weight out of the car).
 
I need to lose 50 lbs is what i need haha. everything left in the trunk is probably only 20-30 lbs of stuff. Dont know how much that will ultimately effect me. And also 1/4 tank of gas as oppose to 3 weeks ago when i had a full tank (15.49)
 
50 lb loss would put me in the hospital though lol, im 210 and underweight haha. ppl look at me and guess i weigh 160. muscle weighs more than fat :)
i can probably get down to 180 and still be healthy, doubt thatll help my times at all
