Hey guys, yesterday was one of those days that we can chalk up to Murphy's law. It ended just as good as it started with me coming down with a case of food poisoning. Still feeling like sh*t so I will put together a thread later on today with all the details and videos. Highlights of the day were four passes in the 50's, and three 1.50 60 fts (one being the 10.50, the other two in the 60s due to aforementioned issues).
A quick Thanks to BB for his help yesterday and for driving me home. As well, a Thanks for Mike (dodger) for his support yesterday via land line.

Breakdown of final pass;

60ft 1.50
1/8 6.75 @ 103
1/4 10.50@ 132.5

I guess that's one way to lose weight for a lower ET. I'm kidding. I hope you feel better. Very impressive considering the your condition. Congrats.

I know your pretty modest about it, but it's a huge accomplishment.
Isn't that an "un-opened" Motor?

There's nothing wrong with our trans except we have less gears. That trans wouldn't knock off that much if anything in my opinion.
