Went to New England dragway
My first 4 runs I forgot to lower my tire pressure when I got there, so I was still at 35 psi with my MT's. On my 5th run I dropped them to 25 psi and got my best time of the night. I only got 7 runs in because someone wrecked a 69 Nova. He rolled it at the end of the track going 130+ and ended up on its top side with no word on the driver. It took them an hour to get the track ready, by then it was 9:30 and they close at 10. Shortly after that, a skittle blew something up and was pushed off the drag strip.
I had a 1/8th of a gas tank of 91 octane. It was roughly 80-74 as the progressed.
On the 4th run (still with 35 psi) I raced a 2011 mustang 5.0 after the race I got to talk to him for a few minutes. The car was bone stock aside from some flowmaster exaust. He ended up running a best of 13.0@110. He has big plans for the 5.0 and was baselining the car.
Overview of all the slips

I'm ganna be going again pretty soon to get a better time. She has more in her, but I wasn't able to dial it in that night because I forgot my tire pressure gauge.

I'm know I saw your can there but I'm not sure if I talked to you. I was saying the same thing though about the track. The track prep was horrible that night. What made it worse was the wreck that shut the track down for an hour . Next time I go down there, I'm going to drop my tire pressure down to 18-20psi and see what I can get. I'm hoping for a 12.00@112 but the temp needs to be below 60 degrees and the track needs to have better prep. I'll be going again soon though
