Another shake down post I was finally able to get out to the track last night and make some shake down runs. Did I fail to mention I put a new bullet in the hot rod 
The good news is that I love a 2100' plus DA for the first passes. It can only get better from here
Was chasing a very greasy track and spent a lot of time hazing the tires. Madman will have that straightened out soon enough and the short times will be back.
3 full passes -
60 - 1.60
9.79 @ 146
60 - 1.58
9.77 @ 145
60 - 1.55
9.62 @ 146
NLP put me together the bullet that makes some great power. Madman will put me in the land of hook. And I'm going through enough dope to keep Nitro Dave proud.

Derek,
I imagine the track would be good on a Open Comp night. Hmmm, may have to drag trailer for that.

Great times, especially with the weather we've been having lately. Can't wait to see what it'll do in the fall/winter once we start getting some decent weather.

Tom - thanks and remember it's all in that custom tranny mount 
Tony - STOP IT
You're not supposed to get faster, I still owe you a round from last year. Look forward to seeing you there. Don't go asking Nitro Dave to give up any of my secrets.
GTO thanks!
Rob, Yeah I remember. Don't worry about me, I'm easy to put on the trailer. You guys will probably just wanna run me without your gas.
