Well, after having a oil pressure problem after last week, Allan located the problem and fixed me up and got me ready to go racing for Friday at RRR. I brought the car to him on Monday and he had it ready to go by the time I was leaving for RRR on Friday.
THANK YOU Allan, you are the man! <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />
Finally got to RRR and unloaded the car, made a few warm up laps in the parking lot, got back to trailer and notice a slight technical problem with one of my valve cover o-ring gaskets leaking. It was a minor problem and with the help of Tim(the short one) we removed the valve cover and redid the o-ring gasket and put it back together, just delayed me running the car about an hour.
Only made 4 runs, but they are all good.

1.519 60'
4.450 330'
6.907 1/8
99.60 mph
9.033 1000'
10.812 1/4
126.91 mph
DA=1793'

1.518 60'
4.412 330'
6.850 1/8
100.31 mph
8.954 1000'
10.721 1/4
127.53 mph
DA=1303'

1.559 60'
4.483 330'
6.926 1/8
100.02 mph
9.038 1000'
10.809 1/4
127.26 mph
DA=1218'

1.542 60'
4.451 330'
6.886 1/8
100.02 mph
8.988 1000'
10.753 1/4
127.64 mph
DA=1075'

First two runs I launched at 6200 rpm.
3rd run I launched at 6500 rpm.
4th run I launched at 6300 rpm.

Raceweight is 3375 lbs.

RRR is a nice facility.
It was good to see Cam and Scott again, and also all the new people I met too.
Also many thanks for all the compliments I got on my car!
Just one question...how come nobody wanted to run me? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Thanks Scott,
Yeah I heard that too about the spray, and also a few who said it was a stroker. <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

Thanks JS & Bad1le,
The Pepper's record will not survive much longer. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

But I did knock Terry Burger's 346 M6 mph record down! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Thanks again everyone!

Mike,
Tim was running 11.9x's @ 114-115 mph, I asked him if he wanted to line em' up but he wasn't having any of that! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Terry,
Oh well my bad, I thought you had a M6.

Steve,
Conditions on my first run were:
78*
23% hum
29.63 bar
1793' DA

Conditions on the last run were:
66*
54% hum
29.68 bar
1075' DA

Track was hooking pretty decent, left lane was definetly the better lane.

Congrats!!

10's @ 127 + M6 x 346 = <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

Fellow M6 drivers appreciate your effort to hold down the fort for us, and to represent that we can kick some *** on the strip too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

BTW, what clutch setup are you running? How is the t-56 holding up?

Holy bird **** batman. There is probably a good 100lbs to be lost in race weight and probably a tenth left in the 60. Do I hear 10.5X

Yeeow <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Put your glasses on when you read. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Damian,
I'm running the Ram clutch with the 6130 disk, and the T-56 is holding up fine so far! (knock on wood)

That's awesome Gordon! Are you going to the Thunder Shootout? You would kick major booty in the M/SM class!
