She sounds like all of them

I haven't been out there since I sold my Duster in '01. Do they sell any unleaded fuel and methanol out there? I have the Formula mostly empty and thought I'd put some fresh fuel in it without ethanol and stock up for my Alky Control.

You fast guys didn't miss anything. I didn't see anything small tire lay down a solid run. Spent three hours in the staging lanes between passes from a wall smack. Best air I can remember but terrible traction.

The Bumble Bee C7 was running 116 to just under 118 bone stock. Best run was a 12.59 with a 2.2 60'. It went 12.21 in the heat the last summer in Sealy. There were some good runs here and there on a lot of cars and it was good to be out among the cars.

That sucks.. Every time I go though it's always the same thing. Someone runs into the sand trap or swipes a wall etc. I usually spend 7-12am there and barely get 3 runs in.

Next time I'm going to the "fast car lane" though.

Default C7

I have never not been in those lanes before. Sucks to be in gen pop!

Everybody with a gopro wanted to line up with the Yellow Bitch. We had nothing for them on stock tires out of the gate but I guess it blew their skirt up to out run the C7.

We are so much not those guys to give a damn. Good time for sure though.
