Default I'm finally a 11 second car...

Just needed some cooler weather and I got it.
Made four runs tonight.
1. 12.09@111.30
2. 12.00@111.40
3. 11.96@111.66 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
4. 11.97@111.xx

Not to sure on the 60' time they don't give out timeslips on Tuesday night. This past saturday the car was cutting 1.65's so I know the 60's had to be at least that if not better. I had someone video taped the run. Should have that posted on my site tomorrow morning.

The temp was 55, baro was 30.09 and the dew point was 37.

I'm so excited I can't sleep right now... <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />
