Fun day at the track Man I had a great day at the track today. 2 new best et's and I won the Children's Hospital benefit race. The 1st place WIN was a much better prize than the 9.85 and 9.83 new best et's I ran. The DA was about +2100 to +2200 today. I wasn't keeping track of the DA too much but I did check out the DA on my TAG weather station for the 2 new best ET's. 
Best 60' was 1.30 and the best MPH was just shy of 136.
The wheel stands were above average at times
at Thompson Dragway in Ohio 
Good night all

I forgot to add when they handed out the trophies to the finalist's the guy looked at me and said " WINNER? " I said yes. He looked at the other guy and said " LOSER?" He said no I'm the 1st runner up 
I thought that was funny.

Nice job yet again Tom. Just wait until the weather cooperates. 9.86 will look slow. You car will flat *** fly.
Any videos? I love watching your car launch (not saying your finish is bad, but your launch is just bad ***).
Congrats
David

Thanks SilverGhost 
Thanks David Umm thats a 9.83 Too bad the races were over at around 6pm. I think the car would have gone into the 9.7x's. Pics? Next week I'll have a ton of pics and video's. I can scan the pics but I have no way to convert the video's. Actually there was a photo shoot on my car and a friends 95 Camaro.
There was a promoted race featuring Larry and myself for the benefit race. We ran 3 times for the battle of the Camaro's. I won the first round because Larry red lit. Larry won the second round because I red lit. Actually his car is a bit faster than mine. Then we had the rubber match. I treed him and I ran a 9.85 to his 9.83 but I won the race. This featured event will be in a magazine I was told.
Derek, thanks man. Actually there are no losers in the sport of drag racing. We are all winners.
