Just got back from NED, with a new best
Just got back from NED, with a new best My dad and I went to NED today to get our last runs of the year in. It was great, mid 60's dry and the track was sticky! Only thing that sucked was everyone there was breaking so the track was shut down half the time. A kid from boston had an '04 cts-v. His dad owns a caddy dealership, so he drove it down on a dealer plate. On his first pass, he wheel hopped and broke the rear end... Track shut down for over an hour 
Any way, I went 12.3 at 115 5 times with 2-12.4's at 115 and a couple 12.5-12.6's once the track got slippery.
My dad managed a 12.0 at 121
It was alot of fun, we spent half the day waiting for them to clean up the track and talking to A guy named Brent with a red Vette built by slowhawk... But he broke too.... clutch after about 5-6 passes
Only thing that sucks is, I know this was my last time to the track this year

awesome times tim 
i knew u had that low 12, u just needed a little better track to do it at. 
i beat if u had a tire on there u would have had high 11s without a problem. good to see ur dad finally got a good time, although with a tire that thing would be getting kicked out for not having a roll bar

The track was better than LVD but traction was still my handycap... with a little more seat time and a set of tires I think I can find an 11 sec slip. But besides the tires, I'm done with mods to this car, I'm not even doing a cam.... Hopefully I'll have a new toy to throw $$$$ at

Well,since the car is here we will build up the whole driveline and possibly do the 8rib belt setup -add more boost

lets see ill give ya the cliff notes. go to 11B infantry job training dec 1-14 because they reclassed us from combat engineers to infantry. jan 4th we go title 10 active duty, report to Ft.Dix jan 7th for mobilization training for 45 to 90 days. be in country early to mid april, right when all the **** starts. we are hitting the ground running with little to any time to get accustomed to anything in the hottest part of the country doing things that i cannot say. total deployment time no more than 545 days. thats the jist of it.
