Little faster..
First run of the year off the trailer:
10.83@124.87 w/1.48 60'
Changes from last year: skinnys, and Be-Cool Radiator w/auto cooler and I gained a few
Race Weight was 3495pnd
Unfortunatly my posi clutches went south and could not hook at all after that run, running low 11's only.

Sure wish we could catch some of that good air here inland. That place sure is blessed.
Keep up the good work.

Agh... not the clutches, broke a tooth off a cryo'd spider, which chipped my pinion. I think the next winters mod will be a solid rear.

Congrats on the new best Rich, sorry about this rear.
Were those stock spider gears that were cryo'd ?

Rich...Congrats
Don't feel bad, my posi is on the way out too.
I'm in the process of adding a nitrous set up to mine. I'm going to try to catch you
It should be close...
Are you going to Richmond this year?

Yes we plan on going to Richmond, looking foward to it. I should run better than last year, and I hope the track isn't as rough with the auto. I had to shift at the 1/8th transition and it was a bit hairy.
Vic they were 3 year old spicer spiders that were Cryo'd. They were in there for alot of the M6 hammering. I ordered another set but don't know if I'll have time to have them treated and be ready for the next race.

That is a really rough track. You will definitely be faster, but you'll be fighting warmer air in May.
