This might be unpopular but is there any chance of adding an 1/8th list to this list? For now, where I live, there isn't a 1/4 mile track that I'm aware of within at least 4-5 hours of me. There are two 1/8th mile tracks close by, one 40 miles away, the other 60 miles. My best 1/8th mile time has yet to be equaled in my 1/4 mile times. Just a thought for those of us stuck with nothing but an 1/8th mile

November 4th is also Kerbecks third annual Toys for tots run. The guys who have a whole bunch of points will most likely be racing. You might want to check the NE section to see whats up. I have to go toy shopping this week.

First pass, ran 11.08, with just one powershift...on the 3-4.
Thought I'd trim some time by adding power shifts on the 1-2 and 2-3. Didn't work out as I'd anticipated. Lost two hundredths to 11.10. Torque Management took back the advantage that might have been gained. Lesson learned.
Third pass. Powershift only 3-4. 11.06.
Shifting drills, which I've written quite a lot about, help bring the consistency. Plus no missed shifts in 51 passes.

Video of my 11.06 pass
Car in the left lane ran open headers. Made it hard to hear my motor til I got in front of him. I left late after tweaking on my launch rpm, generally ignoring the tree.

When we revised the original list..... internal mods were basically head & cam....... we never gave converters any thought so we classified it as a bolt on.
