I'd love to but that's a little late for my blood :lol:

I've been out for the past 2 weekends in a row attending vette events and am hosting/working one next sunday.....guess I'm trying to say, I'd better not push the limit with my wife :D

Let me know how it goes...cooler weather, better times!

Make sure to check out the post about the Race Rock Party next weekend :D

I will probably be there...you have to challange or be challanged by another to run...no $ but fun just the same. You should dominate with your setup. Mark, wife allow 2 days in a row?

Anybody else? the more the :cool: er!

Damn, I gotta find a track that will let me run without the rollbar. What was your 1/8th time and speed? Maybe you can post the slip(s). The only number I remember from my first and only run (I got kicked out for running under 13.445, even though I used my brakes and went thought the traps at 75 MPH) was the 86.15 MPH at the 1/8th.

Those sub 2 second 60' launches are nice aren't they. That was my first ever. I wonder if my 3/4 of a tank of gas helped with my launch. My car is so traction limited. Sounds like you're doing a great job.

What tires are you running?

Jim
