Negative DA is AWESOME!!!!!!
Finished putting my rearend back together and decided to head to the local 8th mile track and see If I could break it again 
Checked the DA before I left and it said -100 
Get there about 9:15 (they normally close at 10:00) and they tell me they are closing in 10 mins. I ask If I can make one pass real quick since I just drove over an hour to get there and she says go for it. Pull right into the staging lanes without even turning my car off...tech guy tells me they are closing early because the track is too cold and the traction sucks. Oh boy, I decide to launch at 3000 RPM (315 Drag radials) and hope it hooks. Spun a little in first but not to bad..rest of the run was good.
60ft: 1.74
E.T: 7.41
MPH: 94.5
Got to make another pass but it spun all the way thru first and I didn't bother shifting to 4th (4:10s with M12).
Previous best was 7.51@93.xx with a 1.74 60ft....If I could just get a 1.5 60ft time once I would be happy. Only time I thought I had enough traction to do it I broke...oh well. ET streets are coming soon so hopefully that will do the trick. I checked the DA when I got home since it had gotten even colder by time I got to the track and it said
-489.
