Nice runs. So if your car is almost in the 9's and the shop car is right on the brink of getting in the 10's, then you better get that tow rig into the 11's just to keep things in order.

How does that trailblazer feel with the camaro behind it? Thinking of getting one but a little worried about pulling the boat with it.

I've got the straight six version of the t-blazer, and not only has it hauled a car from KY back to IL, but it has also hauled an SBC powered boat, both with no problems....aside from trying to drive too fast with the boat and almost blowing some weak a$$ tires up....

BTW....those are some decent times you got there Larry.....

www.greatlakesdragaway.com

I will be running the car in an 11.50 class tomorrow, but the first run I plan to try and get the car into the 10's. Then load the 93 octane file and work on an easy launch to go for the 11.5x area.

I will post the results Sunday since tomorrow will be a long day...leaving the house at 5 a.m and will most likely not leave the track until 10 p.m or later.
