New best w/ STS... 10's so close!! I finally got to run my car again today at our test-n-tune day @ No Problem Raceway. I have not been back to the track since the F-body event in Memphis last May. The weather was unseasonably HOT for November with a DA of 2800+
I made 12 passes total (I show poor Jane no mercy!) I ran a bunch of 11.30's @ 122.x throughout the day, but when I finally listened to Paul (and didn't have my cell phone vibrating in my pocket while I was trying to launch) I was able to get up on the converter enough to build some boost for my launch. The results were 1.59 and 1.54 60' times, leading to 11.13 and 11.18 passes, both at 122 mph. I'm still figuring out how to launch the car consistently, but I am VERY Happy with the results, esp for my 99K mile car running 5 lbs of boost. I know a little cooler air and I will definitely see some high 10's.
On a lighter note, today was the one year anniversary of my shattered tibea at last year's Thunder Shootout. I stayed away from the scooter (and all other forms of two-wheeled motorized vehicles) and managed to make it through the day un-injured

Angie... I will race you to 10's!! And I have an M6! What trim turbo are you running? Those are GREAT numbers!! There are a few of us that are quieting the doubters. I am looking forward to having allot of us in the 10's!!! I am trying to be the first M6 STS... (Maybe the 1st real STS period?)
Good to see Angie.. are you going to San Antino? We need to have an STS race!!
