Went to Atco last Night
Well I decided to go to atco since I put the 4.10's in the car. It ended up being a not so great night as the track prep was horrible and could not get the car to hook. My best 60' of the night was a 1.79 and decided to run it out the back half to a not so great 11.41 at 124.56mph. It was a new best mph for me but far from my best et.

I was on Micket ET streets. I have cut a 1.68 on the stock gears. I need that 1.5 60' to get my ET where I want it to be which I think should definitely be doable. I did not see them spray the track once with VHT last night which sucked because I was hoping to click off that low 11 high 10 pass. O well next time!

I'd gotten that for a mere 11.42 once.

I was there for a rental on Wednesday and they did do their usual great job with the prep.

The last time I got the boot she asked me to open the door this time she just said well it looks like your done for the night. I go what no warning she goes nope.
I am still getting use to the gears I just want a day with some prep to launch the crap out of it and get that 1.5 I'm so desperately looking for.

Oh yeah, I've been going there for almost 10 years now and still love the place. 
That's pretty damn quick actually on those weak tires that they came with.

I used to race my GT 500 KR which had a 428 Cobra Jet which was under-rated at 335 horses and never once got into the 13's. In C purestock class ,I would race and beat Vette's rated at 350 horses with low 14's to their mid 14's. Call me a skeptic on a 13.97 with 300.
