Default New Best.............

11.54 @ 120.77 MPH 1.61 60' <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" /> <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0"> <img src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" border="0" alt="[chug]" />

Here's the run:
R/T .464
60' 1.61 <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
330'4.81
1/8 7.42
MPH 95.11
1000' 9.66
1/4 11.54
MPH 120.77

The Mustang in the lane next to me had a .386 redlight so I nailed it when I saw him leave and I beat him of course. Oh yeah he was spraying too.

I love my Hoosier slicks <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

Way to go, Richie! Just wait until the air down there actually gets good. I know it's still crappy there, just like it is here!

I was thinking of coming down there Sunday, but it doesn't look like the car is going to be ready by then...
