Had fun tonight, it was good to meet some of y'all. I'm not too upset with my new best of a 1.81 12.47 @ 111, but expected quicker. Its really frusterating running the fastest on the first run pulling a 1.81 60' and then not getting under a 2.1 60 with shitty et's my last 4 runs... spinning BAD... feel bad blaming it all on the track but wtf lol.. The DR's arn't cutting it I want slicks and prostars.
And I got some videos of brian and austins car so I will upload those tomorrow for y'all

Had fun watching. Damn I pissed I pussed out not a damn rain drop fell all day. Track prep was crap it got better but that was one of the worst times I've seen there.
Congrats to Brian for the W. Looked and sounded good doing it. KillerV's TB SS was consistant as hell. 3 runs of 14.57 back to back to back. Nice job Greg.

My G8 went 13.508 @104.80 with a 2.06 60" I thought maybe It'd be a little faster, but it's mostly stock so I'm happy. Got out of the hole good for not having a stall.

Congrats Brian on the new times. Looks like the M/T tires helped out a little!
Track prep can be hit or miss on a TNT, especially when it rains before the event and they have to re-prep / scrape the track due to water. Add in more street-style tires than slicks, and traction can be iffy.
I was at a Wednesday TNT last month with a low 9 second Camaro from Rollins and it hooked fine on all 4 hits (1.35-1.37 60 foots on 3 year old M/T slicks).
Saturdays are typically better becuase you have more slick tired cars that put more rubber on the starting line. Plus the True Street class is the same entry fee as a Wednesday night TNT, you get a minimum of 3 passes (2 time runs then round one of eliminations), and if they have more than 9 cars entered, the winner not only gets a trophy but $100!
