Default The planets didn't align again...GRRRRR

For my stupid quest for 12's I am pretty sure all the planets in the solar system need to line up and a angel needs to add wings to my car. 2 times this year I would have ran 12's, and Fridays CC would have been a good one if I didn't have to let off gas big time to let the cobra catch up. I was sure I won and let off gas so much I am sure my run would have been in 12.8's or low 12.9's. I added lighter tires and removed my cats, must have did something since I ran a best with foot off gas. I even let off the gas 2 times to let the cobra gain on me and tapped it once at the line. One of the things that totally messed me up was his r/t and time he ran combines was 3/10ths off and my car ran better than ever, around a 1/2 second better than earlier runs and my r/t was good. Anyone have a idea of what I would have run if I kept the foot to the floor?

here's the slip
DIAL 13.19
R/T .021
60' 1.912(ran better before 1.821)
330 5.468
1/8 8.378(new best)
MPH 84.45(new best)
1000 10.914(new best)
1/4 13.095(new best)
MPH 100.36(should have been around 107)
