What do u have done to your car? Is it what's in your signature? If so 12.9 would be a stretch. Not trying to burst your bubble. My car full weight with LT and tune ran 12.8
Plus humid warm night are working against ya . Best of luck!

If someone is willing to tow my car home when I break my 10 bolt I will go.

I live 35 minutes from the track.

nikon1999 it's funny that you mention the cops going easy on you , Igot pulled over in Wellesley after I left elm bank for my tinted tails and license plate cover, he was a pretty stand up guy and let me off with a warning after I promised I'd fix everything before taking the car back out

nikon- i hear ya. a few saturdays when ive brought my car to the shop i have been followed by the natick police but havent had an issue with the wellesley police yet.

what ever tripple a you get, make sure you get the best. last year i broke the drive shaft and on my coverage it was the first 5 miles free then some crazy fee for every mile after. from epping to wellesely it would have been mid 200$ tow out of my pocket. my good friend was with me and had the really good coverage and bailed my *** out big time. im pretty sure they said it covers the first 100 miles for free.
