Atco rocked this friday. Too bad on the last run the driver of the black WS6 with welds decided to leave it in 2nd after the burn out and run a 13.1 
I still can't believe I did that. Anyways. It rained around 9 to shut everything down despite my praying big time to the Trans Am Gods to make it stop.
12.316 @ 113.48 (54 degrees, 95% humidity, Baro. 29.25)
12.256 @ 113.93 (54 degrees, 97% humidity, Baro. 29.36)
12.210 @ 114.73 (53 degrees, 100% humidity, Baro. 29.25)
12.166 @ 114.86 (52 degrees, 100% humidity, Baro. 29.36)
12.171 @ 114.55 (52 degrees, 100% humidity, Baro. 29.25)
The first 3 and the last 2 were all hot-lapped. I got a new best 60' since I got the slicks/skinnies last season on my 12.17 run. I got a 1.818. That's pretty amazing considering I still have the stock TC.
It seems that every time I try for a new best something always happens. First I didn't get the pulley on in time, then I got a flat slick, and now I screw up my last run before it starts raining. All I need is one night with nice weather where nothing happens to me. I did have fun despite my stress level trying to brake into the 12.0s.
The good news is the UPS guy came today and brought me my BMR torque arm and K-member.

Thanks man! Awesome times, and doing it through cats too. Very impressive. I guess I need to do some more weight removal and try again even though the weather has been less than desireable lately. It was 88* here today around noon. Not racing weather really.

Thanks.
Well, SLP neglected to tell me my gains from the dyno tuning. I haven't gotten the car weighed since before I got my slicks/skinnies, but I will try to soon.
