Default New best------added video

Got my tfs heads and cam in about a month ago along with a fast 92/90 and got to the track yesterday after 3 privious rainout trys. The air was cool(53 degrees) and the humidity was in the low 60's. My first and only run was a 10.88 @ 123.34 mph with a 1.47 60 ft. I'm still on a high as this was a big thing for me. I had run 11.4's at this track before with my cam only configuation and nothing was said about no rollbar. I guess a 1o.88 was pushing things a bit to far(lol).i have a video and timeslip to post up as soon as i figure out how to do it. Marshall(paint it black) says that he now has company in the "old farts a4 club". Regards to all and many thanks to those forum members who have helped over the past years.....jon cona

It would be great to have you come down to MIR. It's a bit of a ride from Philly, though.
