When to a track rental at Atco with my '99 FRC auto conversion built 382 with a Novi 2000. The air was decent.

New PB: 1.39 sixty foot 9.56 @ 137.96. Time to get my 9 second license!

Of the last 2-3 track rentals you attended that I had unfortunately missed, I finally got lucky and was actually at the one that just might count the most! 9s.
The car moves it out for sure Bob, there's still a little more in it too, congrats.

Not sure if we ever will, I don't think Bob has any plans to run this car in the CC, sure would make for a nice 10.00 index car for Sundays (or for Saturday's Mixed Index class) though.

Thank you all for your positive comments. I did loose some ET on that run due to the car spinning on the one to two shift and hitting the rev limiter.
Unfortunately one of the Hoosier drag radials decided to spring a leak, so I decided that would be it for the day. That was the only run I had for the day and found the drag radial was loosing air quickly after the run when I parked it.

Right now I have six runs on the car and am still getting to know it. So right now my plans are not to run it in the CC. I will continue to test and tune with it and also do some upgrades to it at the shop.

Again thank you for your encouragement and well wishes and thank you Dave and Rob for the future signatures on my 9 second license test.

All of you guys are truly "THE BEST."

Rich, Frank had a 1.49 and 1.50 sixty foot and also several more 1.5 sixty foots but only could manage a best for the day of 11.11 @ 121.21. The air was decent but not killer by any means.

Overall a good day for everyone.

And Frankie did everything right too but not all of the elements were there for that elusive 10.9x pass...the truck is fast for sure though.
