Default New Best!

I ran a new best tonight at OSW eventhough the track prep sucked. 12.32@109.8mph! 1.731 short time. All I can say is MT ET Radials hook! My first run spun clear through 1st, and I had to lift. The result was a slow 13.18 with me lifting at 1100 to 1200ft. Second run was a little better with a 12.86 still spinning out the gate(track was not prepped for hard launches). Third run I held RPMs at about 1100 and nailed it when the tree came down, result 12.378@109.4. Then I hot lapped it and got the 32! The night started out disappointedly, but ended with a new best!

I say that when a track is not prep, they should refund your money. :

Yea, OSW definitely does NOT hook on test and tune nights, kind of defeats the purpose of test and tune . But it's the only place close for me to drive to get a timeslip. At Orlando Speedworld it has become a hassle to run there because of the plethora of imports.
