Yes, I'll be there Saturday. No tracks around here open, so I'm going to take the 290 mile ride down to hopefully achieve a new best ET.
Not sure if you ran a PR but you looked good. We did get a video of your last pass and will put it up with the rest. Nice to meet you.

Kyle,

My Dad and I enjoyed meeting you today.

I ran my Mustang today but had to leave after the 2nd pass because I got a hole in the slick

I ran against Kyle in my 2nd time shot. It's not the greatest video but it can be seen here:

That place will blow your mind - I fixed my NOS leak with their inventory between runs - If you need tires call Buddy first 856-768-2167 Speed Shop at Atco - not sure if what you needed but good chance they did have it His prices are right

It was a pleasure meeting all of you guys today.

It is now 12:10am, I just got home. I left the track @ 4:15pm. NJ Turnpike was pretty congested.

I didn't get my elusive 11 second pass, SO........It looks like I"ll be back.
My new best is

60': 1.768
330': 5.064
1/8: 7.754
1/8 MPH: 92.45
1000': 10.063
1/4 ET: 12.023
MPH: 114.36

We had a good time out there on Saturday. Weather was good, not great, but the track was hooking pretty well. Anyway, here is a video of my better pass of the day. I got to work on the shifting.....I could get three tenths at least if I could shift it quicker. New shifter goes in later this week, and we'll give it another go.

Thanks Don , How's your ECS stroker doing ? Any decent times out of it yet ? I haven't seen you or heard of you hitting the local tracks in a while . The cold weather is here , get out there before it snows .
