I may be heading that way, although the fast cars will be at home this time. I'm likely bringing the truck for flogging in I'm hoping to be killer air (68 high/38 low) before the modding begins.

Damn the luck! I'm on duty Saturday and have to make a run to the airport Sat evening to pick up some military brass I don't even know. I'm pissed, this should be the best air yet. 
Oh well..... 
There's always nexttime.

I'd head out but i have to work this weekend. Went out this past wednesday though, ran consistant 13.4's and 13.5's on a humid night at around 103 mph. Couldn't break the 2.0x 60' barrier, would like to hit a 1.9x before a converter goes in.

Weather was fair on Wednesday, amazingly enough a buddy of mine ran a new best et with his car, so while talking to him I broke out my Kestral weather station to see what the DA was. Now granted I'm 16 miles from the track, but at 8 pm it was 1700 DA, which isn't horrible. But I'm hoping for something under 1000 tomorrow night

In case anyone was wondering:
Air tonight started at 115 DA (feet above sea level) at 6 pm and when I left at 9:30 pm it was -675 DA
Man, 15 seconds seems to take forever, but at least I got a new best bone stock before the truck gets modded a little...

yep that was me in the truck, and yes 5.3L engine. I was surprised at the times as well, but the weather was nice too, plus I'd already run 15.57 before. Yep, got to spank one Honda before a buddy lined up his '06 GMC 5.3L crew cab and we duked it out 15.45 to 15.43

What's funny is that it's those civics that are pushing there cars through the staging lines instead of having it running......which the car will warm right up to temp when waiting to stage and the burnout, lol. And they're also the ones airing down there front RADIAL street tires down in order to gain more traction
. Then they're the ones that actually do a burnout IN the waterbox. Sometimes it's just too hard not to laugh out loud......I guess all that work makes it worth it to drop from an initial 17.2 to a 17.0, lol. Thread Starter
