Finally.....10's
Finally hit 10's today at the Challenge.
1st run: 1.48/60' 11.08@123.52 spun going in to second.
2nd run: 1.50/60' 10.96@123.24 hazed second a bit.
3rd run: 1.49/60' 10.89@121.77 lifted at end trying not to break out but still did. Nice end to the season with all the breakage.
N/A @3500 pounds.....10's

Rich...Congrats!!!
Now you need to turn your attention to the 9's
I'm jealous of your 60ft. times. Now I'm inspired to bust out an 11!

cough cough...a good set of gears and a high stall converter, coupled to that kicka$$ 3.08 1st gear=fast 60' times, and 2 shifts later you're down at the top end pretty darn quick. Can't wait to see how quick it is, compared to a stock 14.56 @ 97.11 on a 90+* day (which ain't too shabby). Looking to see low 12's, high 11's as my goal.
