Definately a good day at the track!
Congrats Bud!

Here's a few times in Heather's car:
1.649 12.205@111.859
1.682 12.183@111.957
& Drew's run:
1.659 12.086@111.830

I'm thinking she's a shortbelt & skinnies away from an 11 second run on a day like today.

> Definately a good day at the track!

For those wearing drag tires, anyway. Traction was very hard to come by if you were on street tires (like me). The cold air was great for power, but the cold, shredding track was misery for putting it to the ground. I had wheelspin in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for most of the day. It finally got decent ~2PM and I was able to string together a couple of 12.1 @ 120 passes.

Shaun - we certainly had a good run [Smile] I was pretty sure you had me beat, but then the SRT hooked up in 3rd and I was [barely] able to reel you in. Congrats on the later passes!

--------------------
Cheers, Ben

congrats again mark...that's one more notch down...11's on there way? I thought you would get at least a 12.9 out there, but 12.8 blew me away. I was surprised to run a 13.3 in mine on friggin street tires. I guess that goes to show you how much better BFG all weather tires are than Goodyear!

Yes 11s are on the way just need to hook the jug back up [Smile] I still can't belive the car went 12.5 that's just crazy for a bolt-on GT, race weight for drew was 3350 and for me it was 3480 or so.
