Re: pics from atco (74VETTE)
Cool pics, thanks Chris. How long did you have to wait between runs?
If you guys go next week I'll probably go, I'm going skiing tomorrow for the first time. I should have said that if I don't break my azz I'll be there next week.

Re: pics from atco (pats406nitrovette)
Cool pics. I ran just OK today. Sorry I left kind of early had to be home at 2.00. 60 foot times were off for me today. Had fun anyway. Got in 4 runs before 2:00. 2 runs in the 12.8 and 2 runs in the 13.0. No traction. 109 and 110 traps speeds so the mph for me was OK

I was not launching hard at all.. Mph was 119.64 I need to get the hardened shafts installed so I wont have to get towed home and need to re-tune the car.. The last pass was 12.03 with a 2.05 60ft..

Re: pics from atco (JD 90 383)
Great job on the photos, thanks
Traction???? What traction???????????? :lol:
I havn't touched the car. Same set-up from last year. Trans slipping and all.
Spun real bad all the way past the tree on my first 3 run. However I did have some super MPH on those runs 118.45, 120.27 and 120.61.
All 3 were better than my previous best. Last run of the day was my best, still spun, air and car was hotter ran a 11.646 @ 118.09 1.623 60'
If i had even that much traction on any of my first 3 run with the better weather conditions earlier in the day I may have gotten that 1.5 60' I'm looking for. :rolleyes:
Good job Guys! :cheers:
Does anyone know how THE MAC ran? Pretty sure He's still using the old 3000 Vig Convertor?
Thanks..........JD

Chris, Nice pics, thanks for sharing :cheers:
Good looking Dakota :cool:
Got a new best mph....115.48, but still couldn't get that 12.0, as like everyone mentioned traction was at a premium. They finally did prep the track just before Gamblers eliminations. Best ET then was a 12.1. So close, yet so far. I hope to see more of
you guys there. Until next week :seeya
Mike :)
