lol NO, No skinnies, that was talked about after the first run ( 11.50 @122) there was a lot of weight reduction talk LOL LOL. in fact in about 1 hr ill be pullin the front and rear bumpers and gettin that bitch slimmed down. i let by buddie drive it down the track twice. 11.8 @122 and a 11.9 @119. i have driven it on the street once and this was his first time at a track. his 60s were 1.79 and 1.89. so now he is hooked. he came back askin what we could do to get it lighter cause there is a wednesday night TNT.

do idea on DA

what track were you racing at? Do you have a shift light?
like I said, trapping 123mph at that weight and running in full street trim is damn good.
from what I see, 6 speed fbodys need 124mph and a damn good 60' and you'll have your 10 second slip. definately keep us posted.

yea I always set my shift light about 200 rpm before I actually planning on being in the next gear so that gives me time to shift.

I found out the track elevation is 1070 feet. Can you tell me what time of day you ran your best pass on? the time should be on the best time slip. I can figure out the DA this way. thanks
