Re: Tell me about Atco...
Hit the brakes and run a 12.0 @ 90 MPH. I have seen Joe Prince do that MANY times and its pretty damn funny! One time the tech guy went over to his car at the line and got real pissy with him about it. I'm sure they didn't think it was as funny as we did in the stands. They will let you slide on 11.8-11.9 usually once with a warning, the 2nd time your done. 11.7 I am not sure about, that might be pushing it!

Lately they have been a little lenient. For instance, last night ,the two Cartek C5s each got two solid 11's in before being booted. I think the quicker of the two may have even ran 3 deep 11s without a bar. He was smart and separated them with a low 12 in between.
A month ago or so, you were gone with the first sub 12, no bar run.

That is strange I have run about 50 11 second passes at Cecil and they never looked at me twice LOL.
Must be my charm and good looks haha <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

After one 11.4 pass my last time at Cecil the guy gave me the slip and looked at me strangely. I read the slip laughed and said "I WISH!! MY CAR ONLY RUNS 13's!"
He laughed and said occassionally the lights screw up. He didnt say another word for the rest of the day to me (I managed to get another ten 11 second passes in before going home haha)

Re: Tell me about Atco...
There has been night when I've had every run in the low 11.80's there and they never bothered me. But when I did get kicked out I always got at least 2 11's before I got the speech <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
I'm trying to think how they're going to react when I get back together and run a 1X.XXX @ 1XX.XX with no rollbar <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> <img src="images/icons/tongue.gif" border="0"> Soon <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">

I've run at least 10 11.80-90 passes with my former Gray T-Type (Old Gray II), now with this
99 M6 T/A, until I get rid of his Stock Clutch & Rear I'm SURE I won't see any 11's, but don't worry, its in the works!!
