Another new best today I went up to GLD dragaway one last time before the car goes away for bodywork this winter. We had some good weather. About 45 degress and I'm thinking around 65% humidity. On my first four runs I was able to hook but I was up to 118mph trap speeds.(about 1mph better than last weekend) On my fifth run I had a new best
60ft 1.52
1/8 et 7.13
1/8 mph 94.80
1/4 et 11.27
1/4 mph 118.28
I also cut a 1.51 60ft today.
I'm extremly happy with the numbers this year. The car is driven back and forth to the track every time. The setup has been super reliable for me.
I would like to thank the SPEED INC CREW for a the help with the combo and tuning. Jim,Dan,Tom,John,and my Bro Larry.
For those who don't know my setup.

You only went 11.45 at 116. 
That is awesome for a baby cam only car. I'm just barely faster than cam only cars. I feel slow.

Thanks for all the nice words.
John B. Don't worry It will all come to gether. I remember earlier this year when you were running and my car had no motor in it.
Now I need to get rid of this baby cam in favor of a G5X-2 or G5X-3. With the new LSX intake/new cam/electric water pump. I be looking for 10.9x on motor next year.
