Do you want to be in the 11.00-11.99 class? From what i've seen in Kevin's car and know of your setup I'd say you'd give that class a good run.

Another guy asked that. I'll paste it below. It's all honor system right now though so if you think you can hit somewhere in the 10's then opt for the 10's class. If you think that you are good for 11's then shoot for the 11's class.

Well, it's all in good faith that you are giving honest and optimistic best guesses of where you think you'll be landing. If you completely blow away the 13 second class and end up running low-mid 12's then yeah you'd win, but everybody would probably be on your *** about it. Now if you run a 12.9 in the 13 second class I don't think anyone is going to give you a hard time.

My way of thinking is I'd rather run in the 9's class, run 10's and lose than run in the 10's class, run 9's and win. Ideally i'm hoping to run in the 9's class, get some 9 sec slips, and hope I'm not the last guy on the list

Well... I could break something, or spin, or go on a hot day, idk.
11.0 is a decent over/under.

I don't see a problem with it. if you are going out and starting to make some fast pass's we can bump you up to the next class but 11's is a good place to be. Especially when you got some of your buddies in there as well. 11's seems to be the most competitive. I'll add you, if you change your mind or want to get moved let me know

yea no doubt, im sure we could come up with something. i know alot of the cars i mentioned plus a ton more should be around the second week of april. we start the year with a car show in uconn that is usually pretty big, i believe there were 1000 cars last year even tho it was freezing, pending weather this year it should be pretty good along with the racing after.
