My goal this year was 9.anything, so running 9.40 after only seven passes made me happy.

My to-do list basically is to drop 100 lbs out of the car, and work on revising my tensioner and also parts of my tune. I think the car has an 8.99 in it.

I don't mind parking the car for a few months. saves on gas and insurance and gives me the time to put the car in the air and pimp clean things, do maintnence, make any changes for next year, etc and take my time doing it since its not like I'm missing anything.

i'll be going through my heads and motor this winter, changing valve springs to be safe. the usual underbody, etc cleaning. Have some possible changes happening to the setup. Have modded TNT direct port setup and speed inc fuel rails waiting to go on for sure, might drop the tank again and T in another pump for the direct port or maybe just add the inline i have laying around, put good studs in the 12 bolt since it didn't come with them. **** like that.

i'm planning on world of wheels again this year as well.
