Not sure if you're referring to me, but if so my best time is in sig. I haven't done any further mods, but I suspect that the car is capable of a bit more, maybe a tenth or so. The day I got the best time, my old DRs were starting to get a bit greasy so I was backing of a tad on the launch. I was getting mid to high 1.7 60's that day. The car has gone high 1.6s when the tires were better. I just got some new MT drag radials so I'm hoping if I can get the 60' back down in the 1.6x range I might see a 12.5x run.

If you weren't referring to me then disregard my rantings

Hey Vic. Unfortunately I have to work that weekend and I doubt I'm going to be able to make it. It looks as if I'm going to have quite a few work conflicts this year, but I'll definitly get there as often as I can.

So, are you gonna be debuting a new set-up at the challenge this year?

Did we meet at a challenge race? I'm trying to remember by your user name, but I'm drawing a blank.

Thats cool. I was actually just talking to Josh today. Most of his parties are sort of a blur to me
