next time you go just let them know what day you were there and tell them your name, they will pull your tech card.

it was a nice drop in time, but hell, I was being really conservative with it off the line. I really wish I could have found out what it was capable of in warm weather. I have to say, I'm somewhat pleased with the time considering the circumstances though

...I didn't get a ticket either for the rain-out either, but I'll let them know next time.

There's a reason I didn't post it

I ran with Kevin's exhaust manifolds in the bed, Beau's muffler behind the seat, a cooler full of beer/water/ice and a light foot off the line....and of course full street trim. I was trying to get a pass in before the rain moved in, so I pulled directly off the street into the staging lane.























































14.41 @ 94.44mph with a 2.1 60'

I was a little dissapointed, but I think just putting some more foot into it would have helped

my thoughts exactly

I was pretty easy on it I guess, I stalled to about 900rpm and held about 3/4 throttle for the first 20' or so. I was trying to get a feel for how it would hook off the line....too bad I couldn't get another pass on it. I think I could have been more aggressive on the launch


.....keep in mind, I'm racing on my 20's with 31" tall tires. I would LOVE to see what it would do with some lighter rims and ET streets

Well I had a good time while it lasted I just wish I could have run a few more times. The 12.8 first run was the best of the 3 and I am spinny just a tad but I know the 29" tall slick are to big for the 3.73 gears. I need to get with allen on a few things and I also need a way to do some data logging. I will be putting on the 28 " tall tires next time.
