Default New Best today. :)

Went to ETown today. Ran a new best and the backed it up a half hour later by 9 thousands of a second. My car was deadly consistant today. My primary jets are a bit to big and i sputtered off the line. That sent me home in the second round but i dont think i could have won anyhow, i flat out got beat. Still had some fun and I was more then happy to run 12.6s all day with a couple 12.7s. Prior to today I had only hit one 12.66 at 107. When some good weather comes Im sure I can hit a 12.5 :cheers:

Major thanks to Pat for getting me that carb base so quick. your the best and I owe you one. :grouphug:

Good to see you guys again. :cheers:



I will post some vids in a few days.
