0-60 times using my Dragy.

Yesterday I had a chance to play with my Dragy and recorded some 0-60 times.
It was much warmer than last time I tried this. It makes a big difference.
The tires just connect better when it's warmer.
Best time was 5.2 seconds to 60. When it was a colder, 45 deg out, my best time was 6.2 seconds. I am much happier with the new time.
My best 1/8 mile time was 8.78 sec at 81.42mph. Should work out to a 13.69 in the quarter.
Best times were part throttle takeoffs as in first gear it's a smoke show otherwise.
No room for a wider tire unless I do the tubs in the bottom of the bed. I have a set of drag radials, on wheels, I plan on trying next time out. I inculded pictures of the tire width and the ground track width. I ran the tire pressure down a little to 25 psi hoping it would help but never measured it afterwards. How low can I go on rear tire pressure using the existing tires? To clairify not the drag tires.
Been fun learning how to leave the line on this truck. Limited tire width, and no weight make leaving the line a challenge.
Cheers.
