RaptorRidrTX and I went to the 1/8 mile track tonight...and again we only get to run 300'.
I didn't get my slips so I dont know what my 60' time was..probably wouldn't have mattered because I was carrying my front wheels through the 60' marker anyways.
My best time was a 5.7@63.
Next time out I'm gonna try a few different things to improve on my time and mph hopefully..

While I have never run on pavement the time sounds low but you had good speed (compaired to sand).
With your mods I'd expect a better time.
Vilnrk made a pass on my Raptor & it did a 5.70 @ 54 MPH (300' sand).

Did you have struts or a wheelie bar?
Did you bog off the line?
Did you have wheel spin?

How were some of the other quads times?

We only ran twice..they had a big event..and it was packed. I had wheelspin..but not too bad. I should run better next time. The first run I let off after I launched because I wheelied more than I should have..and I figured my bar broke or something. My tires just hooked really well and brought the wheelie bar up more than usual. The second race I couldn't keep the bike straight for the life of me.

RaptorRc

Tire preasure is very important. If they are not equaly inflted it will pull to one side. Double check pressures and recheck before your run.

My tire pressures were equal. The problem is that with the front struts...the front end is REAL light...so it's hard to keep straight.
