Here is the day. I was hot lapping because I was afraid the track would go away from street tires. Dumb move !!!

Ran 4 runs hot lapping.
1) Time was 12:16 pm...11.099 @ 129.97 mph, 1.779 sixty
2) Time was 12:22 pm...10.890 @ 129.85 mph, 1.661 sixty
3) Time was 12:26 pm...10.691 @ 130.73, 1.526 sixty
4) Time was 12:30 pm...10.859 @ 126.20 mph, 1.49 sixty and missed 3rd gear from heated clutch.

Let her cool down and weather went up 10 degrees.
Ran 3 more hot laps:
1) Time was 1:39 pm....10.785 @ 130.96 mph, 1.540 sixty
2) Time was 1:42 pm....10.731 @ 132.09 mph, 1.507 sixty
3) Time was 1:47 pm ...11.99 2 89.34 mph, 1.573 sixty and missed 3rd and 4th from hot clutch.

Fun day with no lines at all !!!!

Its a Lexan rear glass, already scratched on the drivers side from racing stickers at Hot Rod's Drag Week. The sixty ft and I never had a boost controller were my biggest issues. Now its ready for 20lbs on high boost with a 2-step and t-brake, unfortunately all the tracks for 400 miles are closed until March

As well as my dumbass is gong twin turbo with my Vette now Best pass outta that sled has been 9.97@139 with a 1.46 60'
