Headwind? You're definitely down a few mph...
How was the temperature there? Was the car hot?

The three passes I made were in the right lane. Car had a full tank of gas and I’m 250lbs lol.
How about that launch. 1500 rpm launch is high for a hellcat especially with only a 1.68 60'. Maybe you were a little light on going to wot from that 1500 rpm launch. My hellcat always slowed done or spun with higher then 1200. No biggie just pick up some vp octanium and put a half of can in next time. This will assure you no st knock. I wish I was racing.

That's what I thought , should run with 1/2 to 3/8 tank , never less than 1/4 , & it should help some ET just on that.
