Here's the launch in slow motion:

It pulled left on every pass. I need to adjust the ARB to get a straight pass. I think I'll shave more when it launches straight.

Nice. Time to upgrade some Safety Equipment if you don't have it currently.

Congrats on the 9s! Do you have adjustable shocks? The rear end bounced something vicious on the hit. Could use more rebound dampening or less anti squat.

Nicely done Ben

Thanks for the advice. It is a bad bounce. No doubt that fixing it would improve my 60'.

I wish I would have seen that right after the pass and made some adjustment before I ran again. It looks like compression was too loose and maybe tires were also too low on pressure.

Yep, there was some pretty violent motion there.

Actually, I changed the shock settings to 4/12 after the first pass. I think they were 6/9. Here is the 2nd pass with 4/12 settings.

Congratulations on your new PB! Well done!

I really appreciate the positive comments. I'm looking for a track rental or event to give the race pulley a try. I'm hoping that I can shave .25 seconds off last Friday's passes.
