E-town results???
Well I guess the 'Dog Days' of summer are here as indicated by the small heat wave currently in NYC. I should have seen the warning signs as I turned onto Texas Rd. and my outside temp was registering 94 degrees.
Regardless I have not been to the track in 3 weeks and was suffering from mild with-drawal symptoms.so whether it was 94 or 194 I was racing.(can't always run with beautiful 70 degree weather). Again no AMG's, M's and only two Vetttes so the heat really scared people away.
Anyway first three runs were 12.9, 13.1, 13.2 @ 110, 108,108 respectively. My worst three runs ever in the 63. Consider this though, I did not see one car run in the 12's the first 1 1/2 hours there. The track prep was horrendous My 13.1 I fish-tailed to an astounding 2.4 60' time....my 13.2 I suffered from severe wheel hop(aka
Viper style) even so people were coming up to me saying my car was flying..huh.but compared to the rest of the field running 13.5-15's I guess they were right.
Anyway I always report what the numbers say and this is what the numbers said tonight. For some of the doubters regarding the vehicle weight I, weighed her after eachrun...4,538..4,537..4,535 (dropped a few lbs as I have lost 20lbs cutting my food intake). Hopefully next time weather conditions are more favorable.
PS Hey Juice...dyno mode..13.1, 13.2
NO DYNO MODE THE 12.9 RUN..take it for what it's worth.

DA=2000 welcome to my world.
Your 12.9 run is consistant for your car
Im real suprised the run in dyno was slower.
Good to see you running, guess we wait for fall to have the records fall.

they lost their best friend. When a few asked me what I did and I said 12.9 @110 they were in amazement. They said they did not even break into the 13's and that my car
must be 'strong'. Believe me Josh, the temp said 92 but it felt close to 100 on the asphalt. I feel pretty good about the night overall.

I am hating summer more and more!
Man I cannot wait for your car to run in good air, it is very consistant and with you driving hopefully she can get down o 12.2@116?

I am almost certain I can get a 116mph. I have had a string of 115's before last night. As far as the 12.2 i need to get into the 1.8-.9 60' range and I think I need to change tires for that. I really don't like the Conti's.

So seems you are the fastest 63 trap (uncorrected) in the usa.
I did not know you were running the contis' this gives me hope with a better rear tire you could achieve 12.1-12.2@116-118. So you have a couple runs of 12.5@115? cause I need to put your 115 trap uncorrected as #1 , let me go re-visit our times thread. (great job on the conti's) btw
