Default New Best

Went to the track today and ran a new best et and mph. The weather was cool 60* and the car was hooking real good. I made six runs. The last four runs were all in the 11.4xx sec range. Here are my runs:

11.497 121.091 1.646

11.460 121.290 1.601

11.449 121.244 1.594

11.441 121.936 1.617


Needless to say I am very happy with the new times

You are definitely putting the power down. Which track? Milan, Lapeer, 131?

You should realy consider running there. T&T is only $15 and the crowds are small. No waiting in the staging lane. I can make as many runs as I want in an hour (this gives better times because the car does not get hot).The track is closing after this season(OCT24).Unless someone buys the track we will have one less place to race.A good turnout for the rest of the season might convince someone to buy it.

Did they say anything about not having a rollbar and harness? I'm assuming you don't have either.

Great runs!!! Consistent.

No I don't have a rollbar. They have been real good in leting me run on T&T days when I was running above 11.5.( I showed them the NHRA bulletin on verts. )I didn't get a warning on my new times but I am sure I will.
