Default Finally got to the track...

I drove up to the WinterWars race at Hub City Dragway in Hattiesburg, MS last weekend to finally get some 1/4 times on the KB setup. The weather was not condusive for racing as it was mid 30's, overcast, humid and breezy all day. They actually had some sleet flurries about an hour before I got there. Anywho...
First pass:
60'..........1.57
1/8 ET.....7.25
1/8 MPH...93.75
1/4 ET.....11.49
1/4 MPH...115.15
I was expecting it to spin out of the hole and when it dead hooked it kind of scared me a bit considering this is the first 1.5x 60' I have ever gotten. I had a scare on the topend as the boost/vac line popped of of the fuel pressure regulator on the 2-3 shift dropping fuel pressure and putting the truck in a diffrent section of the VE that was not tuned giving me a 14.xx afr for all of 3rd gear. Well, thanks to some friends at the track, I was able to get some vac hose and fixed the problem (line is back behind the blower and is very difficult to reach).
Made a few more runs with afr in the mid 10's. Took some fuel out and got my best of the day on the fifth pass although the track was going away and I couldn't get out of the hole clean.
60'..........1.63
1/8 ET.....7.21
1/8 MPH...96.80
1/4 ET.....11.30
1/4 MPH...119.65
This was thru full exhaust (3" catback), no adjustment on the rear QA1's, Hoosier 28x10x16 at 18psi, ~12.5psi (wavey kpa graph indicating slight belt slip). I think I can get some 10's out of her this season with a little tweeking.

I forgot my video camera at home and this is the only footage I have found so far. I think this was my worst run of the day with a 11.63 @ 115.53, 1.63 60':

I put it on some non-cetified scales at the scrap yard a while back and got 4440# in street trim which was the same as above except for the rear wheels. I add another 300# to the weight though so ~4730# race weight.
