Fell short again fellas.... 11.15 at 128mph@cecil I tell you sometimes i feel like a little black cloud is hanging over me LOL! I took the car to the grudge nite at cecil tonight and didnt get what i wanted by any means. I made few passes between wreckes,oil downs etc. 1st pass launched the car a little to hard and god sideways out of the hole with a 1.977 60ft ran it out the 1000ft mark and smashed the brakes to run 11.73 at 99mph. I came back around after sitting about a hour and start the car run again and dont spin as bad but bog to 1.84 60ft and run that out to the 1000ft hit the brakes hard and run 11.9 at 80mph. So its good racing weather with a light to moderate tailwind on some passes. I pull up and say F'it i'm doing a full pass. Do a nice burnout. I pull up to the line and launch and it felt REALLY good, nice clean 2nd with a little to much wheels spin. Then hit a clean 3rd and a really nice 3-4 shift. I was like wow that felt really really good I think that may have been it or really close. So I got up for my ticket. She said sorry no ticket. I was like do know what i ran???? Nope! I come back to the lanes and say oh well might aswell run again. Friends seen the pass said she came out nice but it was only a 11.15 at 128mph. I was like FUG me and went to the main tower the track rep said to do cause "I WAS DONE" for going 11.1's. So go up there.... nope the time showed on the board but didnt print/record a freaking lick of it! So pissed off I go back and the guy who said i was done said well no slip we have no record of it you can try again i guess LOL. SO I DID! Pulled up nice burnout and tried launching a little to hard and wheel hopped a little and spun to a 1.84 60ft again and ran 11.24 at 125.96mph. Not sure if the car just got hotter on that pass or a combination of that and wheel spin reduced the MPH. So sortof a new best MPH with no proof So the saga continues. The crazy thing is the car likes a not as well prepped track IMO. I was able to get a decent spin on the last 2 passes and keep the nose up and not hurt the clutch like i've been doing. I've altered my technique and tire pressures and I may be onto something. Seems it likes a quicker clutch release and my tire pressures were at 22psi and 20.5-21psi hot on the last run.

it's gonna be tough all summer long... waiting for the fall... You'll need to be very patient... no mods till you hit the tens...
Good luck and keep practicing your launch technique so that when the air is good, you'll have no problems...
