Just got in, have some videos but too tired to fool with it right now, got to the track at 7:30am so it was a long day. There was only 7 cars in the EFI class, I came in second. Ran a mid 13 second car and its kind of hard to judge the stripe when you are going 50mph faster then the other guy, shame because I cut a better light but broke out, 9.40 on a 9.50 index

But I ran three 9.53s in a row before that so its pretty consistant if anything, ten=mp was dropping for last round and the car sat for a couple hours and got pretty cool so it picked up the last pass.

Just goes to show you dont need a 9 second car to win a race, with the contingency the winner walked away with 1600.00 with a pretty stock SS vert. They also took a bunch of pics for the upcoming LSX race feature in FSC. Busy weekend..

Thanks for the comments, but its like listening to your own voice on a tape recorder - I just sound funny to myself

Good results, what did you get for second?

I always think I sound odd when I hear a recording of myself also.

With the contingency its like 800.00, that about covers what it cost to run a 3 day weekend with the family

Nice interview! It was cool to hear a little bit more about your set-up, it's kind of what got me going in the procharger direction. I hope it works out close to as well for me. Low 9s is really impressive, I'll be happy with low 10s. Congrats.

yeah, always weird to hear yourself on tape...

but interview was ACTUALLY interesting... im know with me it would be like "uh, uh, uh, hehehehhe!!! uh, uh, uh..."

You sure it wasn't rehearsed?!

Nah, very interesting.. not like on of those nascar interviews. "yeah, car rang real good, and uh, like to thank my sponsor, tampax, they help me out with the little problems like a leaky pump, yeah... car ran good."

congrates!!!

I talked to kp on Saturday, hell of a nice guy. I couldn't get over how quiet his car was compared to the other low nine second cars. Congrats on the interview.
