I only got to run 2 times the 1st time in TNT friday and I tried the 150shot of N20 and ran a 11.17 at 127 I hit the rev limiter and the window switch shut the n20 off for a sec enough to mess up my run the 2nd run I turned down the n20 to 100 shot and it was on I ran a 10.9x ( have to look at the video to get the exact time and MPH.) at 123mph. I was happy.

I was there this weekend with the Camaro. I had nothing but problems. My Nitrous Solenoid decided to start acting up and would not come on until about 120 feet out. I was cutting some awesome 2.0 60' times. I did see some of you there but I was trying to get the car right so I didn't get to do much walking around. My best pass was 11.33 @ 133. I also cut a slick down during test n tune on Friday night and almost put it in the wall. It was an awesome experience even with the problems and the guys in the pit next to me went to the finals.

Man that sucks. I also had some problems after my 1st run during TNT the low coolant sensor flew off my radiator and the sensor was gone and dumped all the water I was lucky it happen in the return lane not on the track.

That sucks. Why do all the problems seem to show up at a big race? The weekend prior I was running 6.70s in the 1/8th and the nitrous was working fine. This was blowing through the converter. I changed the converter on Wednesday before Pinks to a tighter one. I did stop by and see your car. Nice ride. I was was running around on my Dad's 57 Chevy Golf Cart looking for a nitrous jet.

I found one on Friday morning from a guy that owned the black Corvette that was about 5 cars up from you on the return lane. He ended up breaking a rear halfshaft on Saturday.
