the 9´s barrier is hard... NEW best 10.0@141

Wel went out today

on pump gas

it was not a good day to brake record, the weather was cold 50°F and a lot of headwind hardly no sun, i was loosing 2-3miles in trap speed, the track was prepped up, but i was still i was fighting traction.

managed to get me a new best

10.02@140.6 60ft 1.57 1/8 6.49@112

went 7 runs
10.11@140, 10.15@141, 10.3@142, 10.2@141, 10.03@141, 10.02@140 and then last run 10.09@137 (was emtying second bottle)

here are my two best slips

the 9´s barrier is a hard one.

Baezi, killer runs brother!
Soooo close to that 9 too. A few fixes on the launch/ 60' and you're good to go.
Making some really nice power with that set up too.
