11's but the motor didn't last I ran an 11.77 @ 110.5 mph w/ a 1.64 60'. I ended up having to get towed home because multiple issues. We suspect rod bearning, head gasket, bent valves etc.
I feel my mph was low because my issues (missing was the only noticeable issue at this point) started at the end of this pass. I lined up again despite the random backfires (probably shouldn't have) .. ran an 11.85 @ 107 w/ a 1.65 60ft. She was cutting out/back firing BAD once she hit 3rd on that pass (last pass). A noticeable "tick" ..sounding a LOT like a rod bearing became very apparent so .. I wrapped it up for the day (3 passes total). She over-heated within 2 miles of the track and I had to call a tow truck. The kids were pumped about being able to ride in a tow truck so .. not all was bad
I'll see what's up with the motor and go from there.
