Finally 12's
In the 2nd time trials at the Challenge race (which I won :flag :D) I finally got in the 12's. 12.97@109.52 with a 60' of 1.84. When the nicer weather hits I hope to get deeper in the 12's before I tear the car apart over the winter.

Re: Finally 12's (RichS)
Rich,
Congrats on your win at Etown and your first 12! I'm still looking for the first 12 on mine, 13.06 best so far. BTW, the Diacom worked perfect, its already pointed out a problem, if I fix that maybe that 12 will be around the corner.

Re: Finally 12's (mackeyred96)
Good job. Sure feels nice going round after round AND running your number. You and the Wife should have gone to AC yesterday! You might have won enough to buy HER a GS.
Just by COOLER air, it'll go lower in to the 12's without a doubt. I think we we're 1100 feet DA and SCORCHING heat. That's worth approx .2/2mph(roughly).

Re: Finally 12's (65Z01)
Rich, congrats on the win and on hitting 12s. Those milestones are great when you get too them. From your trap speed you'll be well into the 12s.
Congrats on the win! :seeya
