Default NO MORE 12's

I have finally met my goal!!! Whether it be a louzy day with head winds, hi humidity, hot & sticky & balmy, or a great day with cool, dry air and no wind. Whether track conditions are poor or great. My car will be running 11.something. What a difference a week makes... Two weekends ago with the cool, dry air I made three passes at my local track (11.62, 11.52, 11.60). Then this past weekend when the weather wasn't so favorable I made three passes (11.97, 1196, 11.89). I wanted a solid 11 second car, no matter what the weather or track conditions will be the car will be in the 11's. I'M THERE :)

Mark, Hope you get that turbo fixed in time for next month. It's me & you in round 2. You'll give me the jump? :D I'm gonna try real hard to make the race. I will be away the week before at the Gatornationals. Watching how it's really done. :rofl: Saturdays I am suppose to be working. :skep:

You don't MEAN that, especially with a twin turbo C5, against a "little old" carbureted small block Vette like mine.. ;)

Congrats! Sounds like solid 11's to me. Not that many cars that consistantly run in the 11's. I would guess that our track would be something like 90% 13.xxxplus, 5% 12.xxxx's and the other 5% under 12 seconds. :cheers:

I reached that goal too.. Now I have to get into 10's.. However - maybe that's not going to happen in the same car or with the same engine...

Heads up, I'd be lucky if you didn't hand me my arse ;) :D

And for that matter, I doubt I'll make much of a showing for a while in the brackets...but all I want is 3 rounds a month :D :lol:
