Hey at least it was easy to fix (the water pipe). I had a copper pipe under my slab (darn slap homes in Arizona) break and flood my lower bedroom! Had to cut concrete and dig to get a new pipe put in.

Anyway, great 60 foot, great run. I really like the 11's and the 117 trap speed!

Smoking fast run. Great 1/8 MPH too, you were really cooking out of the hole.

What's your launch technique?

thanks Joe. the two previous runs the track prep was still wet, and no groove yet, and the trac was still cold. left line floored it fishtailed smoked tires let completly out it shifted two 2nd, floored it instantly and still ran a 11.8 both times and one was 118.30. so i waited till some cars ran and the track warmed up. i heated the tires pulled to the line and this time i left like i was leaving at a stop sign without spinning. i didnt want to take a chance and smoke them again. the 60 ft. was down. but the result was a new best, but was looking for a 11.4
