Default Made a couple passes with the spray

Went back up to NED on Wednesday and made some more passes.

I had to run N/A for half the session as I was waiting on Vinny to come and work on my spray.

My N/A runs were high 13's / 14.0's and then we figured out that the tach signal to the window switch was inconsistent so we ran a bypass so it was "Game on" when the full throttle switch was activated.

The first couple passes were still in the high 13's but the mph was up from 97 to 105 as I was trying to ease it out of the hole and build some rpm before hitting full throttle, plus I was informed that my burnouts were **** poor so I told Vinny I'd make him proud and proceeded to do a mean burnout prior to lunch, it was so smoky that it filled up the interior of the car and made me think of a time 20 years ago when I used to fill up the interior with a different kind of smoke anyway back to the story.......

Left harder (but still a **** poor 60 ft of 2.1) and ran 13.19 @ 106, then made another lap and ran 13.007 @ 106.95 w/ 2.14 60 ft and then hotlapped it again for a 13.11 @ 104 (all three runs were back to back to back within a 10 minute period from 9:45 to 10 pm).

Be the end of the night nobody was there so it just drove around and around.......got 12 passes in and could have gotten 20 if I had not stopped to watch for a tad w/ Dakota and then we screwed around on the NOS when Vinny arrived, plus the staff at NED was very tired from a 2 hour shift so they had to take a brake..... WTF is up with that

Thanks guys

It was warm and humid but it didn't rain

"So close" is the story of my life but hey I still sleep good at night even though the Tomato ran 10.02 and never cracked 9's.......

This one will get into the 12's on my next outing as I'm going to step it up to a 125 shot.
