New best short time Went out and did a little testing last night. Was able to get a new best short time of 1.32 
The launch has got to be the greatest part of racing

Wow, we need to head to your neck of the woods to have some fun!! Great time, can't wait til you tell me you cut a 1.29! 
Funny, Mech and my Man had on their back windows last night written with dial in:
VHT PLZ and "I hook better at 3K on the street than I do at the track!"
The track Mgr thought it was funny, still the track sucked *** to me too only able to cut a 1.86 to their 1.7's on slicks.

Take one part NLP/Mike Norris motor tuning, one part Madman suspension tuning and one part holding your tongue just right = killer launches.
Claire, that's some funny stuff right there. I'd love to see what my car would do at BMP or Gainesville.

Eric, since the new rule is in affect (11.49) I am going to try for G'ville next year to rent. We could have done it last year but everyone that was in the realm of running 11.9 or faster were all freakin out because G'ville runs by the book even on rentals. So we opted to BMP again. WE will do either or, but I'd like to give G'ville a shot. Get some more northern peeps into it next time and definately limit the cars to about 60. 78 was a bit too much for my liking..........I am sure I would have gotten a few more runs in if I wasn't paged to the gate every time I got out of my car I had to go straighten out someone trying to get it that wasn't on the first list 
I wanna see your car in action again (but I won't be in the next lane YOU because you make me look SLOW!), so I will keep ya posted on which track we are going to rent.

Claire, just sign me up and let me know when.
Madman, made the latest adjustments you directed and it worked well. Unfortunately they only prepped the track once, so it went away quickly. I bet your right that the next number will come.

And I totally have to agree with that statement, the launch is definatley the greatest part!!!!!!! I can't wait to get mine back up and running with the new rear swaybar and lca relocation brackets!!!! They would've been in this week and I would've been testing it out tomorrow, but I broke a valvespring over the weekend and I just bought a new set of springs and an air compressor so I can change them tuesday, and that's what i'll be doin tomorrow on my day off!!!! Then i'll be bringin it in to get the swaybar and brackets welded in next week and hit the track asap after!!!!!!

congrats Eric, nice 60 foot! I'm guessing the weather wasn't good enough to support a new best et/mph to go with it?

Thanks for all the props!
Charlie, who would have thought I could go to the track without a camera?
David, Madman fixed me right up. But now before I run the track announces for everybody to watch as they may be in for a monster wheelstand.
Derek, I gotta start keeping at least one or two secrets don't I?
