OK thanks! I really wish they had ran the 1/4 today :( oh well...

My best 1/8 mile pass was this:

60'.....1.666
330....4.772
1/8.....7.415
mph...92.56

Now here is my 1/8 mile times from my 11.97 pass.

60'.....1.69
330....4.927
1/8.....7.666
mph....89.70

so I picked up 2.5 tenths in the 1/8mile. it was so damn windy today I'm sure that was hurting me a bit. I had fun anyway...just sucks that I dont know what my new best 1/4 ET really is.
