Default Finally... 10.98@121.81

After sorting out a couple issues as the day went on, I finally cracked the 10 sec barrier. Here is the slip. Needless to say i was very exicted. Now I just need to be able to hook up on a consistant basis.

I haven't put it on a scale but I would guess around 3450 +/- a few pounds.

Thats a dang good accomplishment at a track that has an elevation of 1,250' and track prep of a whole 6'. I know you worked hard on your car getting it back together. Congrats buddy.

Thanks for the congrats guys.

Tom, it felt really good when the other guys at the track gave me a thumbs up after my run. Your brother was about as excited as I was...

What kind of power are you putting down?

M6 or A4?

The weather was there but the track wasn't...

It is an A4 and I have no idea what the rwhp is. It definately needs tuned. After cleaning my car the night before, my Corsa tips are completely coated black from running rich. I am planning on getting it dynoed and tuned at the beginning of December. I think she still has some more left in her.

Congrats Mark. The weather definately was there. I know what you mean about hooking. Felt like I was on ice last week there.

Great runs Mark, still pulled the wheels with no track prep. Congrats on the 10s.

Your right, Dean is going to have a busy winter spending money.

I didn't know about you running 10's. Did anyone see it? Do you have proof? I heard it was so cold at PRP it snowed. But everything seems a little fishy to me. Anybody with a printer can make new time slips all day long. Looks like you got your time slip from the garbage can.
btw: Congrats.

A deer ran through the traps about a second before he did.
But it was still a nice run!
J/K GOOD RUN AGAIN.
