Default drove to track about 120 miles ran a 10.8 and back home

I always wanted to do that.

Taner still brought the truck and trailer just in case. Thanks.

We got there and I decided that I'd try a couple of passes on the nittos. Well I netted a best of

2.22 60'
12.1
124.6.

After the fun runs, on went the et streets and skinnies. I ended up getting stuck running brackets. blahhh.

Best pass was a

1.51
10.81
126.9

I was pretty happy with this on 94 octane and with the passenger seat and full exhast with my borla plate removed.

I was in a good mood so Taner got to drive my car home. It actually was nice observing the car from outside on the street. There are a few little odds and ends to tie up for more awesome cruising.

I have your 10.8 run on tape Roman, I'll get it up online this week. I'll check the tape to see if the 12.1@124 nitto run is there as well.

I managed a 11.53@~123 with a 1.79 sixty on the M&H musclecar drag street tires. (3480 pounds with full interior minus back seats) I was fairly happy with that considering it was hot and fairly humid with a slight headwind (5-7mph)

We had ~40 f-bodies there of which 29 competed in brackets.

Too bad the vette/stang/Viper guys didnt turn up.

I drove there and back too. It was a lot of fun (200 mile round trip)

Your car was very impressive. That 10.81 run looks great on tape!

if that is on a digital video camera, i would be very interested in seeing BOTH runs.

Wow, major different there. Feels great, to drive your car to the track, change tires/wheels, run a 10 sec pass and drive back home

Very nice Roman. Driving the car to the track and running a 10.8 is impressive. Still have the BMR extreme TA? I do. Mine is working fine.
