****update****

ran La Matona this past friday AGAIN.. Sept. 21 2012

went from
11.78@116.3 1.63 60ft...
to
11.75@ 114.8 1.61 60ft...

went down 3 thousandths of a second and dropped in trap speed....take into consideration the best 60ft its thrown has been 1.57 60ft...if i get that again....what are the predictions for et's and trap speed? anyone wanna take a guess?
