Default New best, but...

I got a new best tonight at atco, but it was not a good night for me after my last run. I got 3 runs in. THe first run something happend to the car that I can't explain. I stalled the car, then I punched it on the 3rd yellow and the car didn't move??????? It was still running. I let off the gas and punched it again and it took off. I don't understand. It was fine after that. Stock internals with the stock TC.

Oh yeah it didn't happen because I picked something up in the right rear that put a nice hole in it. DAMNIT!!!!! Luckily my friend was there too racing his Lightning. He gave me a lift back to the house to get my rear street tires. I didn't bother running anymore after that. RIP right rear Hoosier daddy

I have no doubt in my mind that I would have ran a 12.0 since those 3 runs were hot lapped. Hopefully I will be back in time while the air is still good(going to germany wednesday for an undetermined amount of time). Next time, new tires, and a tastey BMR torque arm
