Nice day at Riverdowns. We got 7 runs! Nice fast course set up by Danny Popp. It was VERY interesting seeing Tony Weisenbaum challenge Danny for FTD in his SM WRX. Needless to say I finished second in SM to Tony out of 10 SM cars.
Tony and Danny are excellent drivers with some unreal cars as well. I'm dissapointed in myself for not going today. Those are some of my favorite drivers to watch without a doubt.
My best was my first run of 12.8 @ 107 with a horrible 1.89 60'. After that I was running slower, must have been too much boost on pump for the heat in the afternoon. Last two traps were 105. I finally made some changes to my timing map with the help of my local Honda tuning buddy. I had an old Dynoflash tune on the car when I bought it and the timing map was horrible. Major block tuning, makes me wonder how Al ever got a good reputation to begin with. Car feels better now, but I didn't run it after the changes.
I had one killer race against a 3rd gen Camaro though. I roasted him out of the hole with a 1.77 60', but I missed 3rd. He had about a car on me when I finally got it in 3rd and I reeled him back in. I went 13.04 and he went 13.09. That's about the most exciting drag race I have ever had.
Damnit Greg, you may force me to gut the DSM and put some fender flares on it. Let me know what class you are going to run in, I'm sure my car is too far gone to run in anything other than super unlimited or whatever they call it these days.

I had two great races with an '03 Cobra. Beat him both times. Being a Mustang guy myself it was nice beating him. My best 60' was a so so 1.74. The Evo was shifting great.
I had an old dynoflash tune in mine up until this past year when I got dyno tuned at Buschur. I had one of the orginal mail in flashes also. David looked at it and about crapped himself. He said "Al did this?!". He then commented that it must've been when he first started. I had some VERY aggressive block timing, etc. in the wrong places. I guess I'm lucky it held together over the years.

Thanks in advance.
