Re: Race Times

Just returned from my daughter's school graduation ceremonies, logged on anticipating your times. Hope the weather clears. I'm off to the boat for a bit, it's beastly hot here today and the lake is calling; will log back in when I get back.

Clayton, keeping my fingers crossed that you get your beast into the 10's tonight.

Nope.

Track couldn't hold the cars. I ran a bazillion 11.7x over and over and over.

+3000 d/a and I was off .5-.6 and 5-6 mph all day.

Bah, 3000 DA and 180+ Iat for me put me almost 10mph off. 12.0's at like 114. Resorted to huge smokey burnouts to have fun. If it's not gonna be fast might as well be entertaining. Track aside we are having a blast out here. You folks are missing a good time.

Hot, humid, and headwinds. I couldn't cut a 60' better than 1.95 and my best run was 12.3@116.

Still a lot of fun!

Got a good look at Benz-o-Rama's taillights, too!

Had to head back to Ann Arbor this morning. Enjoy the rest of the event, guys!!
