This last year was decent for me. Couple of years ago started buying parts with the intention of going low 12s. Worked out some bugs and ran a 12.12. Thought that was as fast as the car would go, but on a day when the air was only slightly better and about 75lbs. in weight reduction, it ran a 11.93, and backed it up with an 11.94.
I then ran a 11.08 on a 125 shot the same day, on only my 4th time spraying. Still trying to dial that in. Overall I am pretty satisfied with that, but you know how it goes, now I won't be happy until I get into the high 10s.

It was a decent year. Broke a few parts but the car always drove on the trailer. Been a few years since I was this serios about making it to the track. Next year the car is going to be more of a race car and less of a work car. 
The rearend let go but would you expect out of a stock 10 bolt with gears pulling 1.48 short times. Then the tranny started slipping but I still managed a 10.98.
I sold everything that went on the car in the last year and replaced it all for 2008. Rod ends every where in the back this year, a little weight reduction, and making the car legal for 8.5's is the plan. This year should be real interesting.I plan on leaving the line off a trans brake at about 5000 with a fair bit of power.
