Default New Best

ran 12.010 at 117.7 w/ a 1.78 60 ft. Full race weight plus my 265lbs ***. Talk about perfect conditions today at the track. Unfortunately, I only got 2 complete runs before my clutch started sticking. I think I would have broke into the 11's if my clutch held up. I should of run a short belt. Oh well. I figure w/ a 27 inch tire, some Crager light, a 1.7 60ft, and a short belt, I will be running 11's soon enough.

Not bad for a smog legal baby cam car and stock heads through full exhaust.

Great Day.

Arrhg! ALMOST 11s! I know the feeling. It's kinda bitter/sweet. You love the new best but there's still that little voice going, "Aaaaaalmost had it!"

Anyway, congrats! You'll get those 11s soon.
