I never caught his run

my best for the day was a 10.94 with a 1.59 60ft!! RT of .110
125.8 mph trap speed.


I think I will bite the bullet and pick up a Drag pac over the winter,

I cant belive that I can hook that good with street tires!! Hell maybe I WILL JUST KEEP THEM?

I hope to get one more time out this year before the season ends

Change your tires Keith so you can get a 10 sec run down this year

Matt is right there 11.0x and soon to be in the 10's also

If the yellow TT is the one in the pic, he ran next to me with a passenger. 12.326@123.10. 2.365 60ft. 99MPH 1/8th. Obviously he was messing around, but trap was impressive.

Did anyone notice the variation in trap speed for the 1/8 and 1/4 between the 2 lanes. I saw some "unusual" trap speeds for the 1/4 times recorded. My last run was in the right lane and the 1/8 was 4mph slower but my 1/4 time was the fastest as was the trap speed.

You want to know why those street tires work so well for you. I have video of our race and your burn out leaves a patch of fire behind you. Cant believe theres still rubber left on those things. I had a great time out there today. Just my luck, I got lined up next to Slick Vic and Blown C5 today. Both guys killing me buy 1.5 sec. There were some fast cars out today. I was shooting for high 11s and my best was 12.3 Vic, I think I got you out of the hole butt your 2nd gear comes on quick, then you pulled on me the rest the way.
