How do you know? You think that's the only place to run a 1/4?

I was ready to go but couldn't make it to NY so I made a few runs with my Gtech pro and it was 12.5 heheheh that's better than my 12.6 last year oh and no track prep hahahah through the cats with last years tune no TA in yet either oh and the 10 bolt made 5 passes allready thank you looked at it today and it's still nice and quiet and tight on the Nittos without the skinnies.



that


I made my passes in Pawtucket right behind Galligo Court, down the street where I grew up. We use to run against peps all the time there nice and straight but not much room to slow down.

my word isn't good for you? Hey what comes around goes around, do onto others. HOw do you mean stir the pot? I was wondering what he ran I deduced that if your time was 3 tents slower his may be also so his best last year was 12.8 + .3 is 13.1.


K oh by the way I noticed I didn't get the centercaps for the rims you sold me you have them or what?

FYI, ace, 12.49 minus 12.32 equals .17 That's not 3 tenths slower, my friend. And I NEVER said I had centercaps for the Saladshooter wheels. Never had them to begin with...If I had them--I would have given the goddam things to you--what the hell do you think I'd be keeping them for, ashtrays? WJ

I don't know it all, ace. If you need saladshooter centers, let me know. I do plumbing work at a salvage yard in Worcester. They have 3 or 4 barrels of centercaps in their wheel dept. I can go thru them early next week, if you want a pair of centers for the salads...Not sure what Dave ran for times, however, most of the guys that had new personal bests had new setups. The people that were running their old setups, (most of them) ran a little slower due to the strong headwind and slippery starting line, although the starting line got a little better (left lane, of course) as the day went by...I'm sorry, but you cannot compare a G-tech time with a timeslip from a dragstrip. It's like comparing **** with tomatoes...Let me know if you want me to check on the centercaps.... WJ

I know that How could I possably run 12.5 on a dirty street. But it was fun until I got clocked at 115 in a 25 by the PPD I could actually smell the poopie. I thought I was going to the ACI for the weekend but lucly for me I grew up with the guy and he was impressed but told me to go back to Johnston where I belong. MY cusin has 4 he is giving me 2 for welding in some sfc's I did for him 2 weeks ago. But thanks

13.0 @ 110, same as last fall. I had a hard time getting the Nitto's to hook. Actually I never got them to hook. 4.10's are totally different from the 3.42's. Best 60' was 1.99, compared to my 2.00 of last year. I was slower than my best of 12.8 @ 110 last year. I need to get a line lock and work on the burnout.

Dave, I never could get my '99 M6 car to hook w/Nitto's, once I went to 4.10's... M&H d.o.t.'s (26x16's) got me consistent 1.82 sixties, though...Marcel ran them until recently... WJ
