Well it does have a programmer and the tires obviously help tons! I appreciate it though. I can't wait for the holiday times to pass so I can afford new parts lol

We made a couple of passes the weather was ok . Too much moisture in the air. We had N2O activation problems, then a fuel leak, dropped a jet and couldn' find it. So we called it a night. Fixed the N2o circuit on SAT. Ready to roll now.

d98gt, had a buddy out there in an 08 s/c, cammed bullitt making alittle under 500rwhp. He called and told me he only got a 12.4 while he watched an 11 crack an 11 sec pass, lol. He was pretty heartbroken especially since he spent $13k on mods! I told him a driver mod was free.

He actually came over and talked with me when I was switching my tires. He was only cutting 1.9x 60's and wasn't sure how to do a burnout to heat his tires up. I wish I were able to stay longer and help him out more. He just needs some seat time and he will be fine, there was a procharged 2011 out there with 525 and it also was running mid 12s but that was a serious tuning issue.

Yes, he was having a hard time launching the car. I think I watched him spin through 2-3 gears on a pass.

Thanks! Yep that was me. I went 12.69@111 with a 2.02 60ft on the stock 20" street tires. Mods are cold air, headers, exhaust, and tune. With some tires I probably could have gotten it down into the 12.2-12.3 range. Not bad for a heavy pig i guess. My goal is 11's with bolt ons.

Like I said your car runs hard! Very impressive.

I find it crazy that the this last Friday, and two Fridays before that, the weather was awesome, DA went negative, and the track is basically empty. Then, in the summer, with a 2500ft DA, the track is packed.

Need tires.

The last few months have been like that..the track has been dead this year but I hope it picks up again. The price is even cheaper to race now and its still not packing them in which I assume is due to the economy. Not many people are able to afford to go out and play or take a chance to break.

I noticed that too. Back in August when I got my stock baseline it was miserable out and packed. I got 3 runs all night. On Friday it was pretty dead. Weird.

Anyone happen to get any videos of this night by chance? It's rather difficult to find videos on youtube of the track since there aren't people that don't understand how to correctly tag them haha.
