Great run, I must have just missed you.

My best run was 12.002 at 119, so close but so far.

Those are some nice ET's. I know some people that have dumped alot more mods into their vet than you have and still haven't been able to achieve those times.

That's a great time on stock tires!! Congrats.

Cooler air helps us all, but you must have a High Performance Hood Seal to turn mid-12s like that.

thanks guys!! come the new year im going to invest in some new tires, then probably take her back and see if i can manage a 1.8 60ft or so. maybe hitting 12.3!

Nice job, nothing like this time of year for racing in Florida.
yeah sunday was perfect. really couldnt have asked for a better day. there were so many cars at the track though, took me over 2 hours to get 1 run in!! probably helped my times since the car was cool.

Great run, I must have just missed you.
bud, i saw you when i was next in line to run. i didnt see your car there all day though? i saw 2 black vettes, the red, and the blue with nitrous. congrats on the run, you will get your 11's!!
