first time to a 300ft sand drag race and i can't seem to get launched. the track is all sand, no dirt mix. my set up is a 10 cub, 150 lb rider, 15/42 gear, stock frame, +8 swinger, +2 a-arms, lowered with R6 rear and ex300 front shocks. i started with 72" ro 12 paddle extremes and then tried a buddies 72" ro 13 paddle extremes. my 60ft times didn't really change much from switching tires. my et got .056 quicker though. i've posted a couple pictures and time slips, hoping for some advise on my set up. i'm number 24 on the slips, orange in the pics, my kid is #28 on a 7mm stock cylinder we switch tires on his too for comparison. something else too, my front never lifts at all now since i switched shocks to lower it? i've got a ton of times slips, no 60ft time quicker than the one with my son riding (1.759).
