its a 600ft track, he ran 7.20 @ 88 iirc.

Nah, the 600' (596' actually) was 6.7. The 7.2 was the "estimated" 1/8 mile ET. Not sure how accurate that is though since the estimated mph is pretty low. I usually trap 91-92 in the 1/8.

It looks to me like that 1/8th mile estimator is off.

My best 1/8th ever is 7.30 @ 97mph and that's with a slightly better 60' time than your truck put down so the 7.24 would require at least 100 mph with a 1.76 short time. Also, if you look at my slower pass with the 1.87 60' time, it almost made up the 0.100 deficit compared to your run by the 330' mark despite the 60' advantage of your truck, meaning I'd extrapolate your 1/8th mile ET to be slower than 7.55 and probably fall in the 7.60 to 7.65 range which is pretty dang impressive for any full weight truck, let alone one running on 37" tires!!!!
