Default finally got to the track

So it has been awhile in the making but I have made it to the track. Me and a couple of buddies went to the muscle car shootout at brainerd MN. The two days of rain sucked and i only got one pass per day. First pass was an 10.80 with a 1.9 60 ft second pass i used the brake and it went 10.33 at 132 with a 1.6 sixty ft and the last pass I got was a 10.03 at 131 with a 1.41 660 ft. The last pass i turned up launch rpm to 4000. It is a 1980 Monte Carlo with a very stock 6.0, s480 turbo This was all done with 10psi of boost
