Yeah, in a few of the "show your XD" and "under bonnet" threads.
Planning on bettering times quite a bit. (hopefully)
It was a good buzz.

Next time you go. Drop to 12psi cold. After the burnout the pressures will be around 18psi. This will help the 60 foot times. I think it's got a little more in it also. Starting at 18psi means you would have had around 26psi in the tyres.

Nice result either way
