Thumbs up first trip back to the track in 2 years.

went to track for first time since 2010. washed the car, put new tires on it and topped off the old 93 in the tank with a little 110 and headed to the track.
ended up with a 9.34 @140+ with a 1.26 short time. went a 1.28 first pass out off trailer and went a 1.3 on a 9.37 pass

i was happy. that was friday night.
then ran saturday in the 9.50 class. left the car up the track. pulled a bunch of timming out of the car and went to a 150 shot from 200 to slow the car down. ended up on 2nd qual run as #1 with a 9.52 @ 139 then got bumped first round with a 9.48 brake out. doh.
felt good to get back out tho, had fun and got a sun burn yesterday.
heading out on boat now. yep

thanks guys, i was happy. she was on a rip first half to. stupid plug issue then i had to slow it down to fit into the 9.5 class. im pretty sure when and if i get car back to track if i can keep her in the same 60 foot times a 20 should be pretty easy.
