Fun times at the track. Wasn't prepped awesomely, but it stuck real well. I ran a personal best, 13.2 @ 104mph with an awesome 1.87 60ft. Dragging with slicks is 100x better than with street tires. There's still some power left in this thing.

Chris: If the weather is proper, Dinwiddie is gonna open the 2nd and 9th of December.

NHRA officials were there today in full force. A couple guys were testing for their license. My first run was 11.28 @127. They stopped me and made me go slower than 11.50 w/o a cage. So, I let Sheryl take a few passes and I took a couple working on my 60'.

I could definately feel the difference with the methanol. Pulled even harder. Had a best in the 1/8th - 100.xx mph.

One dude pissed me off because he told the Staging lane official that my tire was flat, so he made me pull off. I was at 9psi in some 22x8x15 slicks, they're gonna look flat.

Then I "red-lighted" because the staging lights were not registering my car because it was too low. So he bitched me out, then looked at me, and I go "So........whatdya want me to do", as I'm sitting in the lane at the tree. And he angrily staged me and I went. I was angry for half the day.

I was wonder why you weren't pushing the car more. Really nice looking car.

Yea I should have a few more go fast parts and another re-tune.

Oh and a HUGE thanks to Terry a.k.a. boostfed for the advice and the help! Too bad about your transmission but he wasn't worried about it. Super nice guy and that car is amazing! It was distracting I couldn't even get a clean run, haha!
