Default New best at NED today

First off I would like to say thanks to slowhawk for solving the problem with my transmission yesterday, along with all the other things he has done for me over the last three years.

As for today I only got one run in but for obvious reasons and the most I would of got was two because it was extremely crowded. On et streets rolling into the throttle I ran a 11.1 at 124mph with a 1.75 60ft. I figure next year with some better sixty foot times and some shift point adjustments I will definately see some high ten second runs.

glad to hear that everything got fixed and that is a nice time. that car should have more in it though like you said, i think it should be able to do 1.5x 60' and be in the 10s all day long. congrats on getting kicked off.

Congrats Gary. You and keith were quicker than lots of the race cars that rode up on trailers. thanks for letting me borrow the ET streets. They hooked perfect with my tire shredding 325 hp. got me a new best of 12.31@109 with a 1.67 60ft. LS6 intake = worst $300 I ever spent. it was worth .06 seconds.

Thanks guys, this is actually the first time I have gone to the track and came home happy with my car. I definately need a cage and a rearend for next year so that I can actually launch the car off the line and not have to worry about breaking the 10 bolt.

454mag glad the tires helped, once I was done they were there for whoever wanted to use them.

Congrats Gary on the great run. I'll have to get some sticky tires like those this winter for sure. My run flats really don't deserve to be near the track. Nice getting the chance to talk to you too.
