my new best times tonight cam only almost 10's well i joined the thunder crew at npr today to watch them make some shakedown runs with their cars. and since i was there i had to run the car again, but i never thought i would get my best times in much worse weather.
i was the first car to run after thunder left. track was still preped good and damn did it show. i still have stock shocks, swaybar and springs. no airbag.
after seeing jasons traction problems with hals i was worried but for some reason my car likes to hook
da was still in the 2400 range around 6:30 the car went a 11.17 so i was like damn and that was a worse 60 than my previous best so i ran angin and heres what happened: 1.481 60 ft
my previous best was a 1.51. it ran 11.118@122.16 from my previous 11.22@121 car is still 3450+lbs. 
i just couldnt find another tenth in it. but i think i might have hurt the posi trying.
i cant wait for a decent cool front to come through, or find another 100lbs that dont cost a arm and a leg to take out.

Very impressive rodney. Those T Rex cams are going to make 10s look easy this fall. I myself am only running 11.40-11.50s in 2800 DA but im nowhere near the 60fts. you are because of our **** poor track prep at RRR.

Nice times Rodney! You definitely will run 10s in some cooler air.
I wish I could have stuck around in the evening to run and play with the suspension more. With the cooler air, I think the car wouldn't have bogged as bad.

hey i have a good excuse. when i put the 9" in i was converting the car to TH400, so that's why i did a 4.10. ditched the 28's when i went back to M6 and figured 4.10 with 26" would be a good combo. I'm getting good sixties, but spinning really bad and its hurting me, need to dead hook the car.
