Default What a nice surprise.....

I got a letter from Atlanta Dragway today and inside was a $50 gift certificate to Year One. I must have had the best mph or ET during the power hour last month because I know my .2xx reaction time didn't make the cut.

That's 2 free nitrous refills.

My run in the power hour was 11.86 @ 120.22 with a .213 reaction time. My mph was over 2 mph slower than any other run that night. I think the bottle was almost empty and the pressure was low. I also wasn't hooking well that night either.

Anyway, I took off right after that run and they don't post the results on their site anymore so it was a nice surprise to get that.

BTW, I don't plan on putting a cage in my car.

I don't think more than .1 and 1 mph unless I get more agressive off the line. I'm sure it'll run a bit quicker when I switch to the 150 jets.
