Well I secured the use of a trailer finially and its been put on hold for next week. Yeah, if I dont break, and someone else does, we will have a trailer avail for a trip home... But I am gonna shoot for next week to make a few passes. They are calling for high pressure and nice weather next week... Go early, wait till it cools down a bit, then give her hell!

BTW Chris, are you lightened up at all? Those are some killer numbers, and we are about the same on HP and TQ.. I cant even come close to touching those times.

yeah when i ran the 10.95 the da was about 0, and i am lightened up...

no ac, front and rear bumper supports, sound deadening under carpet, passenger seat & rear seats, rear plastics, washer res., heat shielding, lightened driver seat

but when i made the runs i had my 2 amps and subwoofer box in the trunk so that is around 60lbs...so my estimated weight that night was around 3350...

i just got a glass hood that saves me 40lbs...so hopefully when i go next week if the weather is as good as they say i will be around 3250lbs raceweight...

Sweet. I am full weight, rocking Prostars all around. I was on my shittos and stock rims and with a 1.88 short time, and 114.5 trap I went 12.1... Shitty DA and thats after driving through Rushhour to make it to GLD... I am hoping that with some super stickys and a better DA to break into the 11s.

Off subject, a lot. Was anyone taking pictures or videos last Sun afternoon??
Or do you know anyone that usually hangs around taking pictures or videos that might have been there.
I was out trying to do some 60 footers & lazy wife didn't get anything good. Thanks guys.
