Wow, what a day....I drove 2hours to Famoso raceway for a test and tune. Very crowded and only 3 runs in 8.5 hours..For the guys that wanted to come be glad you did not EXCEPT! The track was great , great prep and a nice close to sea level DA(200-1000ft) during the entire day. Track elevation is 600-700ft.
3/4 tank of fuel(man was that dumb) mixed 91 with 100
my mods are listed in my sig
First two runs produced a personal best 12.29 and a 12.299 @114.5 and 114.8
I was happy figured I had reached a threshold, car was just not going faster...I wondered maybe I need to go home, but I lined up for one last pass. This was at 3pm..........A car oils down the track and it takes another 40 minutes to clean, then they decide to let the big boys go....ugh another 1 hour passes. at 5:29pm I finally get to the tree.
I was laughing at the end of the run, I knew it was my best , I figured 12.24 @115.........
I look WTF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Took 9 months but WOW!!
12.110@115.68 It feels incredible to be so close to 11's. Thanks to all of you that have helped me accomplish this,

PM me and let me know when your going back to Famoso or taking a trip to Sac. I believe I might run CMI's in Sac on March 9th and maybe Famoso March 2nd, we shall see.
