Default 8th place still isn't bad!!!

Well I bettered my best time by .276 and still stay in 8th place. Oh well. Here is my best run of the night. 12.343 @107.98 1.721 60ft time with a .077 R/T. Not bad for a rookie racer.

Amazing! That's a damn nice improvment Doug. At this rate you'll be in the 11s in no time. I take it you're a believer in tuning now?

Congrats! Nice 60ft time, the best I could do was 2.2 w/ these run craps. Still managed a 12.4 @ 114, but it sucks not having DR's.

Next mod, DRs.

Stock, yeah right, just like mine is. Fuuny, he does get into the stock class at shows, when I get put into the modified class. We both have a cam, headers, intake, stall converter, bling....I have gears, but he has hockey stripes. Go figure.....

Anyway, CONGRATS again Doug!!! Bet that smile will take a while to fade.

Rick, No tuning at the track. Just what we did on Friday night at your place. Didn't hit the limiters all night long. Still think I have some issues to work out with the shift points and the averall tune, but not bad all thing considering. It was a fun night. Can't wait to see what I can run @ B-Town.

Yea, I think I saw you out there in the pits at one point but didn't realize until now that was probably you.

Sweet ride.

Sweet, we'll have to get some logging done and then get your A/F ratio squared away, part throttle, WOT and idle etc.....

There should be a couple more tenths in it.

I'll be home all day saturday workin on the formy if you wanna come by and mess with HPTuner. If not, I'll plan on bringing it to Sunday's BBQ and we'll mess with it there. I think Ellis will be there too, maybe we can pick his brain and get some assistance from him.

I was going to meet him on the way down to Caravan but backed out last minute to get work done at Bickford.

I just want to see that car once this year ... it's always something.

Nice times Doug, it was fun hanging out with you at the track. It looks like I'd better watch my back that's for sure lol ! Still thinking about that girl in the Z3 though
