FINALLY got to the track tonight...
got about 6 runs in tonight, 2 of them I left traction control off (and forgot) LOL so those were pretty bad times 
my best of the night, and the dumb track guy forgot to change my dial-in to 12.4 so i brokeout... not setting any land speed records, but the track was pretty greasy...
it was a blast and helmet rental was only $10

LOL no
just couldn't get the car to launch to be honest, and felt like it was spinning halfway down the track...DA was 793
BTW - there was a new E63 S-Type there, and he brokeout with a 12.0 dialin

it was my first time at the track, but the car was pretty squirrelly the whole way down until the 1000' mark...

Toad, this is not relevant to your et, but you said you were upset that you "broke out", which you did, but your opponent fouled (red lit) first, so you should have moved on to the next round.

unfortunately shot from a cellphone, but still
thanks Craig - definitely could do more, especially with the mods... need more practice (and tires!) LOL
yes, I did move on - made it to the semifinals, and told the guy to mark me down to 12.4 dialin but he forgot/got busy so on my last run I ran a 12.46 as well...
