At least...my Falcon was running 12.61 at 104. What are your other numbers? Looks like you were doing a lot of spinning and probably had a 60' time above 2.0.

It's all about the launch. Shit a little while ago I was doing something similar. trap speed 118 with low 14 sec times. I just rolled out with bald tires . All for shits and giggles.
