Default Finally... 10.98@121.81

After sorting out a couple issues as the day went on, I finally cracked the 10 sec barrier. Here is the slip. Needless to say i was very exicted. Now I just need to be able to hook up on a consistant basis.

I haven't put it on a scale but I would guess around 3450 +/- a few pounds.

Thats a dang good accomplishment at a track that has an elevation of 1,250' and track prep of a whole 6'. I know you worked hard on your car getting it back together. Congrats buddy.

Thanks for the congrats guys.

What kind of power are you putting down?

M6 or A4?

The weather was there but the track wasn't...

It is an A4 and I have no idea what the rwhp is. It definately needs tuned. After cleaning my car the night before, my Corsa tips are completely coated black from running rich. I am planning on getting it dynoed and tuned at the beginning of December. I think she still has some more left in her.

Great runs Mark, still pulled the wheels with no track prep. Congrats on the 10s.

Your right, Dean is going to have a busy winter spending money.

I didn't know about you running 10's. Did anyone see it? Do you have proof? I heard it was so cold at PRP it snowed. But everything seems a little fishy to me. Anybody with a printer can make new time slips all day long. Looks like you got your time slip from the garbage can.
btw: Congrats.
