Thumbs up Got to the track tonight

Didn't get to the track to much last year, car always seemed to be apart getting something new or i was at work. Able to make two passes before the rain hitt, worked out well only like 15 people there think i could've made 30 passes if weather permitted!
Being a friday i was worried prep wouldn't be good enough first pass was a little hairy and i had my doubts
60' 1.972
1/4 - 11.84
mph - 117.36
Car hooked initially and then just spun when the converter hitt faced the wall a bit, actually had to drive.
Figured i'd give it one more shot before i left, ran a pro tree, which was actually fun. .Car felt real good i babied it out of the hole and ran all new bests. Short shifting to cause i haven't got the new tranny all setup yet.
60' 1.577
1/4 - 11.25!!!
mph - 120.1!!!
New best et by .15 and gained 2mph so far with my new converter/tranny. Car should have more in it if i can actually launch it and it shifts at the right time. Noyzee my suspension guy was MIA to! bastard!
