Default Finally in the 10s! Wahoo!

Well, technically. I was limited to 1/8 mile passes because tech tonight was really ****, and I still don't have a cage. Managed to get in 3 runs, the best being:

60' 1.52
330 4.447
1/8 6.98 @ 96.70.

Doing the math, it would have come out to a 10.86ish. Air quality was super good (-1200 DA) at Atco. Next project, roll cage.

For those of you that don't know, car is a mostly full weight 95 T/A, 383 stroker, AI 200cc heads, 9" with 3.90s, Performabuilt 4L60E, and all of the bolt-ons.

Congrats, very nice! Not going to lie I'm suprised they snagged you. I've been there countless times and let me tell you I have stories to back up how retarted and careless they have been lol. Hopefully you can get there by the end of the month, should be a solid -2000 DA on a daily basis. I'll be there atleast once during thanksgiving week, hit me up if you'll be going.

Thanks! I have a few minor suspension issues to work out, along with the cage too. I doubt I'll have it in order by Thanksgiving, but who knows!

I called you back...give me a call tomorrow, bud.

I'm damn proud of you and Charlotte. Don't sell yourself short, make sure you tell everyone in the OP that the car is STILL UNTUNED!! That's HUGE.

CONGRATS


BUT, a 10.86? Prolly not. More like a 10.94 ish, still should get in the 10's somewhere at 121-122 mph(usually add 24-25 mph for the back half)


6.98x1.57=10.95

NOW go get the REAL slip.

I got my first 10 sec slip bronzed LMAO.

Hey, I'm being optimistic.

I probably won't go back until I get the bar put in though, so that might be it for me for the fall.
