Close, but not quite there yet... I'm making some changes to my interior and just repainted my rollbar, so my car was conveniently a little lighter than normal (!passenger seat, !carpet, !console). The air was cold and dry (haven't looked up actual conditions yet).

My two best passes resulted in identical ET's, down to the thousandth of a second. Both runs were 10.061 @ 132.1mph, both with 1.33 60' times. I did manage to keep the wheelstands to a minimum as well, except for the first pass down the track, where it carried the front tires ~100 feet or so.

I'm almost out of tricks, and the racing season is coming to a close quickly, so I don't know if I'll manage to see that elusive 9.99 or not this year. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

George, so close yet so far. I feel your pain. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Iam going to try and get into the 10's this year before the season is over. I have only a few more ticks also. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Good luck on your quest. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />

Thats awesome George! Just a little better weather or a little more weight reduction and you are there (if there is anything left to take out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> ! I am continually amazed at the potency of the gen III smallblock, the records just keep falling.

Awesome ET's George. I think your car was one of THE most impressive cars at the Southern Shootout. Your little 382 made an impressive showing running against the big guns. Congrats man.

Good job, George!!!

Any idea what the raceweight was?

Must have been an awesome sight. Dare I ask if there was any video taken?

Haven't checked the schedule at G'vile. How many more racing days until Christmas? When are you going again. Every Wed T'n'T? I really want to see your car again. Haven't seen it since you stopped spraying if that tells you how long it's been! Hopefully we'll have some dry cool nights coming up soon, instead of these damp ones, and you'll see those 9's this year <img border="0" alt="[Camaro]" title="" src="graemlins/camaro.gif" />

Thanks guys... The DA last night was -435ft. as far as I've been able to tell (9:15pm). Raceweight should've been a hair under 3100lbs (missing passenger seat & already lightweight carpet).

PSJ: I'm working on an electric water pump setup right now. I don't know how soon I'll actually get around to doing it.

Alonzo: I'd say the motor is about as broken in as it will get <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I've got ~90 passes on it. It will be coming out (for preventative maintenance) in December after I race at the Snowbird Nats in Bradenton.

30th TA: I'll probably make it out to G'ville again, but I'm not totally sure yet. I've got 2 races I'm going to, so TNT will have to come 2nd (I'd rather win some $$$$). <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
