New best mph
Weather was ideal today. About 40* and partly sunny. Not my favorite track, so wasn't expecting a new best. Also, it was crowded with several breaks so I never got the launch figured out.
My very first pass, the car impressed me. Took it easy off launch, but she delivered the mail on the big end.
60........1.635
1/8.......6.787
1/8.......106.67
1/4......10.31
1/4........140.85
That's a new mph best by 1.00mph!
Second pass I ran a 9.97 at 138.8 with a 1.50 60'. Third pass 10.03 with a 1.53 60'.
DA according to dragtimes was -700 to -800

I've only met 2 people that can roll through gears like that and you are one of them! Congrats on the run.

Thanks guys. This car is constantly amazing me. It was still pulling HARD to the stripe. It LOVES cold temps. It would be interesting to see what it does with gears.
