I've never been to Cecil. Is tonight a test and tune night?

I might drive down. I've got nothing else to do.

I'll be there in my cammed G8. I only ran a 12.90@116 on street tires the last time
at the track. No traction for the 1st 300 ft....I have a set of DRs and I'm hoping
for low 12s.

So who/what should I be looking for ?? A pewter TA ??

How did you run ??? I never got a chance to to come over. I clip fell off my tranny linkage and it took forever to fix.

I ran the following:
12.102@112 1.785 60ft
12.043@113 1.742 60ft
12.067@113 1.767 60ft

I used MT DRs on 17x8 GTO rims.

it won't take us very long...cars at this power level can be very tempermental so we want to step up to the launch, not try to do something stupid that usually ends up costing alot of money
