10.32@133! Over all the night went real well. We used about 22Lbs of N2O in six passes. I was going to baby it the first round but the guy in the other lane gave me the "Eye" and it was over before he knew it! On the third light I hit the gas and the juice at the same time. She spun like a bitch and hooked about ten feet out, Off I went straight as could be! My 10.34@132 to his 11.030@120. He was more excited then I was on the return road LOL! He got to see what I ran!
So back in the pitts we rest the tires and checked the bottle pressure. 900Psi, hit the heater and brought it up to 950Psi and went again.
This time I drew a full on race bike. We were real close coming out of the hole but I was spinning again THEN it hooked and I blew by him like he was standing still! He was suprised and the wheel came up on him. My 60 was 1.523 to his 1.572. Once he got it back on the ground he got me about the 330ft. In the end it was his 9.44 to my 10.34@133
Next round not much better and it spun harder and started puffing oil. 10.43@131.7. Back in the pit we found the dip stick had popped out. Some duct tape and she was good to go again.
So here we are sitting at the line on the forth round, full stall, Lights come down and I pull the trigger! Car kicks to the right and I start the driving contest! I missed the tree by a few feet but not much! I had to lift to get it straight and not 'Zeke' it (sorry had to ). I should have stayed out of it and saved the juice but I didn't and ran a 10.80@123.
I ask them to shot the track VHT for me but they said it was hooking for the other, slower, cars.
Over the next few pass's the car spun really hard! Then on the last pass against a Hybusa we got the best pass. He was in it till the 1/8th but I had spanked him by then
Last and best pass that secured my 2nd place position was a 10.32@133 with only a 1.52 60ft
Every one was blown away with how fast it was.
With good track prep the car might hook before the 60ft mark
air was over 2000DA the whole time and 80+ degree's
The car is VERY stabil after the launch
I will offer no real excuses for not doing better but I will say I think she will go faster
I will have full bottles again tomorrow but with it not hooking I will not be wasting them on CCCA
BTW I have a plan for a shot out in better weather

That's awesome Ellis!!! 
I can only imagine how happy you have to be with Ol' Blue running those kinds of times! I am very happy for you, and I'm gonna look forward to seeing it run tomorrow!

Over all it feels good. It still needs some dyno time that is for sure but there is only so much time in a day and I often run out
Coming out of the hole spinning round after round and still making four pass's in the .30s was a suprise that is for sure!

DAMN ELLIS!!! 
That is sweet.....I thought it would run those numbers, really. Now hook that bitch up & run a 10. Congrats on the nice times! 
I'll be bringing a nice juicy piece of RED meat for you to feast on shortly. Sadly it looks like it will be over by the 330 mark...
