Default Finally did it

First off I wanted to give a big thanks to all that voted in for me today it helped. I went and ran the 1320x today it was hot. It was well over 90 degrees and the Da hit 3k when the gates opened at 8am. By the time I got my first run off the da was over 3650 and climbed up well over 4k. My first run was a new best
60'.......1.688
330......4.782
1/8......7.401
mph.....92.938
1000....9.612
1/4......11.592
mph.....117.631

Next run was over a 4k da on a half empty bottle (I had to bleed half the bottle down to drop the pressure it spiked to 1250 sitting in the car). Anyway went 11.71@115.6

Then I got word that I had enough votes and made it into the manufactuers cup which will be on tv. By the time I ran the da was back down to the 3700 area. I figured gotta go all out for tv so moved my window switch down to activate at 2200 rpms. So I get up for the first round and dial in at 11.55 and ran this slip
60'......1.618
330.....4.732
1/8.....7.340
mph....93.683
1000...9.534
1/4.....11.496
mph...118.819

I finally hit my goal and ended up winning due to a redlight in the other lane. I made it to the top eight and then driver error took place lifted half track and ran a 12.70@86 mph. No video proof of the run yet but stay tuned for 1320x @speedworld dragstrip
