Today was a good day...

I was able to pull a handful of 12.3/12.4s but the last run of the day was the best:

TRIXSNK was on the right and I was on the left:
 -

I used a short belt, bypassing the smog, ac and p/s pump today which seemed to help. Plus I also remove my front sway bar and misc stuff from the inside of my car...I can't wait for 11s. [Whoo Whooooo!] [Whoo Whooooo!]

Wildthang also got a new best today...I'll let him tell you. [patriot]

Thank you...I was pretty surprised by it. My car is strange. Either the first or last pass are usually the best for me, even if the last one is a hot lap [Confused] .

Yeah it was definately a fun time out...It's always good to meet fellow stangers.

Too bad the jr. drag kids were there. We would have gotten in a lot more runs.

Definately get some sticky tires. You'll notice a BIG difference... [patriot] [burnout]

Were you running your car? Also, I noticed in your profile you play ball. Where do you play at? I play quite a bit in Martinez, Concord, Pinole, Antioch, WC, PH, etc.


Hey Patrick, Nice meeting you and thanks for the props [patriot]

I know, I could have been better by 1/100th if I did. By the way, how much weight did you shave off after the bikini and back hair waxing??? [Big Grin]

It's a good thing they don't have highback cloth seats like at the movies, he might get stuck. A plane ride sitting between those two would be fun.

Thank you...

I've got about 320 foot pounds to the wheels. Well that's what the dyno says anyways. [Big Grin]

I've got a PI Stallion that stalls at about 4200.

I'm surprised it launches as good as it does with the stock suspension with the exception of Eibach sport springs. I don't even have sub frames on there yet. [patriot]
