Good day at the Shootout: 11.29@118 and the SS\A trophy My car ran as good as I could of hoped and the track hooked better than I could have imagined.
The weather was pretty good too.
In qualifying I ran:
1.51 11.344@117.89 3549 raceweight
1.53 11.343@118.12 3545 raceweight
My first round of eliminations was a bye-run
I eased into the gas (under the advice of tim98ta) and ran
1.57 11.39@118.06 3544 raceweight
Next round of eliminations I ran Fastr A4 Good race! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
1.52 11.31@118.18 3542 raceweight
Final round vs Trevor D and his mean SS Good race! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
1.51 11.29@118.28 3540 raceweight
Trevor tree'd me a good bit (.079) but luckily I had enough to come around him to win by .037 of a second <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Thanks to Thunder Racing and all the other sponsors that made this race happen. It was really cool to meet everyone and see so many fast cars. I can't wait for the next race <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Good day at the Shootout: 11.29@118 and the SS\A trophy It was great to finally meet you Mike! You had your car dialed in really well. I knew I'd have my hands full! It made for a REALLY fun race, and it was nice to watch some cars go down the track that I'm usually reading about. The track prep was AWESOME! Never did I expect to pull those kind of 60' times on a set of BFG DR's. Now that the Shootout is over, it's time to shed some weight and add more HP. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Congrats on your win, and good luck with your car this winter!

Re: Good day at the Shootout: 11.29@118 and the SS\A trophy Thanks everyone. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
No PSJ my heads are not milled. The heads have never been off the motor. The only changes to my motor are: LS6 intake, Futral throttle body, Futral 226 cam, Comp springs, and Comp pushrods. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

Re: Good day at the Shootout: 11.29@118 and the SS\A trophy Very good times for DRs and the raceweight. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> 10s are in the bag with slicks and back at your normal weight. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
