Quest is finally over!!!!
The DA was about the same as last friday(-400) the track was hooking well and I was ~50 lbs heavy with a 1/2 tank
. Still not sure how a .14 improvement in the 60' only equates to a .03 overall
I'm more amazed at the 1.4 honestly, the splits were off .03 from the 60-330, .04 from the 330-660 and .06 from the 660-1320. So I think it's safe to say there's a 10.8x in it and a 6.9x in the 1/8, but I called it a night not wanting to push my luck with breakage and can officially say it's a 10 sec sleeper! The 11.01 was the shakedown pass, guess I had to get that last 11.0x out of the way
There will be video soon for any that question the number error on the slip and as Fartpipe says, it didn't happen without it!

Congrats man! You finally got it. You are getting a lot of ET out of a bolt on car.... Nice work... Very efficient. The 60' rocks as well.. And you got to drive it home.
We went to HRP last night trying to get my buddys 70 SS camaro in the 10s.... Last season best was 11.30. Last night with the -842 DA we went a 10.99 at 123 as well..... He was all done and happy.... I convinced him to make one more pass, cool it down real well, push it through the lanes, pull the tires down to 17 psi etc etc.... He agreed and right before the track closed he got a 10.89@123.88.. 1.56 60' He was extactic!
Nothing like that first 10 sec night feeling....

And that's all I have to say about that. 
No I think Marshall meant 'time to hook up his own trailer' to go racing LOL, 
it was cold up here yesterday morning and we were all at Englishtown/Raceway Park all day.
