I also wish I had some better tires on that night to pull a better time or possibly a new personal best.
Ya, that was me. It wasn't until the end of the night that I started rolling into the throttle which helped a lot. Before that I was trying to see if doing a small burnout would help or not. Obviously it didn't, and by the time I was on to something the track closed. Oh well. My tires are nearing the end of their life and I expect that had the biggest impact on traction. Still had fun though.

Thanks. I am very happy with my runs. I was thinking of putting in a cam. But why mess with something that is really working good. Maybe now I will just give it a little juice to get in the high 11s and be happy with that.
And to think 2 months ago I was trying to sell this car for $9k. Thanks to all that passed on the sale. I am going to try to keep this car no mater what now.
