The photo guy asked if I wanted that added on. I think I'm going to head back down next Wednesday if my car is ready. The weather is supposed to be nice. Finally some cooler weather to race in.

Let me know and I will probably go with you. I need to get a lot of seat time in my car to get it consistent. I would love to get this thing down around 10.50 with some cooler weather and a good 60'.

Best ET of the night was 10.784@128.46mph air was pretty shitty car was def running slower.

Tranny is still acting a little strange. Doesn't want to come out of 4th when coasting down the shut down lane. The trans will be getting rebuilt over the winter unless it dies before the end of the season.
Congrats on your 60' times. Nice meeting you. Besides the heat, I had a good time.

Hey Buddy! The tires unloaded on all 3 passes and I was all over the track. I had a close up view of the wall, the cones in the center, skated around on the big end, etc. You name it and I tried to hit it! I had a great time as usual and also figured out the problem.(I couldn't correct it @ the track ) It was worth the trip.
