I called during the week and they said sat & sun gates open. Guess that's no longer true. Hopefully they will be open tomorrow.

Rumor has it; 10.84 and 10.87 with 60fts of 1.69 and 1.70. High 12X traps.

Craig was fighting traction and shifting issues as well today.


Well done Craig! You fought and uphill battle of misfortune to get here....but you are HERE my friend! Congrats!

Just got settled, thanks fellas. I will post some pics, vids and slips tomorrow. Hella beat right now, lol. To sum it up, I ran in this order:

11.1; 10.97; 11.1; 10.87 hot lapped to 10.84.... The car got faster and faster as the day progressed, but with that it started hitting the rev limiter as it was reving faster than what the tranny could shift. My 60's ranged from 1.65 to 1.79, struggled to find traction all day.
