Went to the track today....and they only had 1/8 mile.

Due to windy conditions, the 1/8th mile was only available.

I dont have the slips on me, but I was able to muster a 8.1 @ 86 with some 104.

The last time out, I ran a 12.8 @ 106 on 94 pump, but I didnt have my rmr cone filter. The only mods for that run were dynoflash, and 19 psi @ redline.

Now, with the rmr, plus 20 psi @ redline Im hoping for some 12.7s.

Too bad it was too windy out.

Btw, I was gettting REDICULOUS wheelhop on the first few runs. It was scaring the s%*t out of me, and I had to keep checkin for oil, and symtoms of blown diffs, etc. It seems though that after awhile, it went away though, and it made the day alot better.

With not that many people, I started goin domestic hunting, and asking people to line up. I ran a whole bunch of stang 5.0s on drag radials, and although most of the runs were close, I edged them out for most of the day.

I ran a Mach 1 on drag radials, with exhuast, performance chip, and gears, as well "tightening the rear end" as he mentioned.
I bogged my launch, and ended up getting a 2.0 60ft, but in the 1/8th I beat him by .003, and nearly a full mph with his @ 84.6and mine @ 85.4

I have more good close runs, but I have to get the timeslips out of my car, which Ill do later.
