Default **new best 10.771@ 127.56

I was invited to a track rental day today at Englishtown NJ. I was able to get in a few good passes.

My first pass out I was able to run a new best of 10.92 @ 126+ mph ..

After a few passes I ran my best time of the day.
1.53 60'
6.89 1/8
99.85 mph
10.771 1/4
127.56 mph

I need to work on my suspension. the rear end of the car was unloading around the 20' mark. I am going to try to put in rear QA1's and set them on the tight side to see if they help. The car is running strong and seems to be running faster each time out.

the DA today around that time with a hend held weatherstation was + 290

I would like to thank the guys at cartek and Hawkeye for helping me get the car ready to run the numbers it did .. and I would also like to thank my girlfriend for putting up with all my $hit

Very impressive Pete! Keep heading to the track, you seem to keep getting faster and faster. My 10.59 is definitely in reach with some better air and 60'. Keep up the good work.

Awsome Pete. That's flying. Just think how quick that run would have been with a 1.48 60'. Unreal. Congrats to you and Cartek.
