Default In the 10's.

I didn't make it into the all out 16 but I did get in the 10's with a 200 shot and a 1.62 60'.

Since my car didn't pass tech with my seat belt I was told to only run 11.50, but I had to try at least once for 10's. Later in the day I put in 75hp jets and ran a 11.506 @ 119.98 MPH. The next day with no changes in air pressure or bottle pressure and a great hooking track (Yes ORP actually prepped the track!) I ran a 11.290 @ 121.26 MPH and a 1.56 60'! Man I wish I had the 200 shot in it for that pass. I really believe it would have ran a high 10.5 Not bad for a 3600lbs. car.

I seen you up there, but didn't get a chance to stop by and talk to you. I didn't feel that the track was hooking all that well, maybe it was all the crap cars that were breaking a few cars in front of me. But I didn't see much prep going on and talked to a few chassis guys there and they said they don't prep much for pinks to keep breakage down. I know what my car is capable of 60'ing and none of the cars we brought with us ran the numbers.

Hell Yeah Benny. I have to say Congrats to you with your 10 second timeslip. It has to feel good huh. Considering all the bugs you had to work out. Hopefully I'll be there with you sometime soon. haha

BTW I took a few pictures of your car saturday. None up close but from the stands, they look pretty cool.

You should have came in.. but one of our buddies was prety drunk and would probably ask you to arm wrestle. lol The rain was terrible.. and that was the first time my car has seen rain in years.

I feel you there man. Hell you might have ran a 10.5 or even better.
Patience is a virtue man. I think you can get that 10.5!
