Congratulations, Ric!!! Knew you'd get it done this year. Even better that you did it on stock tires.

Re: 11.985 I DID IT!!!!!!! (Power Shifter)
Wow! -665'!!!???
Those of us in Texas (no matter exactly where we are in this big state) will EVER see that. Not gonna happen.
Nevertheless, that doesn't take ANYTHING away from your times. 1.77 60' on a sticky radial is very good...much more impressive on a stock radial tire!
Again, big thumbs up to you! :)

Re: 11.985 I DID IT!!!!!!! (WA 2 FST)
It was awsome weather!! But there was some other GOOD new at the track there extending the concreat another 450' for next year and grinding. So it will be beyond the 1/8 mi. The traction should be almost equel to HRP and E-Town! Ric

Re: 11.985 I DID IT!!!!!!! (Power Shifter)
Well, that's one thing I can say about the Texas Motorplex (Dallas). It's concrete for the full 1320'. :)
They just shut it down too early, so the only time we seem to race is when its 85-100^F and 50-60% humidity. :( I mean, good grief...in Texas of all places we should be racing year 'round!

Just amazing! Are you the guy that got the 4 sec 0-60 time for Chevy? :lol: Incredable driving, that's for sure! Most people can't cut 60ft times that good with freakin' drag radials, me included. :D
