I was hoping the taller tires would shoot me into the 11.40 or quicker range but they didn't [Frown] .

But I'm still pleased. First NA run off the trailer, 12.43 @108.

Here are how the NX runs went...

1.70 60'
7.39 @94.00
11.60 @116.05

1.70 60'
7.40 @93.86
11.63 @115.86

1.68 60'
7.41 @93.59
11.65 @115.46

1.69 60'
7.45 @93.22
11.70 @115.59

new best and the first NX run of the night.
1.67 60'
7.34 @94.23
11.56 @116.32

I need to practice at this nitrous thing a bit more. The runs are getting a little more consistent and the trap speed did go up a bit.

But the one thing I really need bad is a BOTTLE WARMER... the pressure on the first run was 850 and it went down from there. Not to mention it was fricken freezing out there tonight...57 degrees when I got in the truck to go home.

Nice meeting you Paul...thanks for working the camera.

PIG RICH... Yeah that was with the 100 shot. It's getting there...

Let's do it... can you get the old style one for me? It's the cheap one that's not automatic. I'll pick if up from your shop again. Thanks man...I owe you another dog and coke.

Did you get your car put together for tomorrow?

Congrats Tony [Whoo Whooooo!]

Definitely need a warmer. If you want a cheap, quick fix, put thermal heating pads on it (like the kind used for camping). They cost about $3, and I've used them plenty of times. [Smile]

Oh, and Eric...my car's done. [Razz] [Wink]
