Another Personal Best! 12.3 today.

First run pulled a 12.306 @ 112.13mph! Good conditions today (cold) and a little less gas in the tank. I'm pretty sure the car has a 12.2 in it, but I only got 2 runs in today since there was a spill on the track that needed extensive cleaning. Had a 1.8xx 60ft. which makes all the difference. It was the last day of the season also. But a nice way to end, at least. Here's the slip:

60' 1.874
330 5.217
1/8 7.939
MPH 89.74
1000 10.306
1/4 12.306
MPH 112.13

Congrats on the new best!

Just because that track is closed for the season doesn't mean all tracks are closed...

Atco has a Corvette only bracket race next saturday the 28th.
and they are still open for test and tune...

Yes, I had/still have the skinnies and Hoosier DR's on the car. I went about .2 faster with the skinnies and a little less fuel. Thanks for everyone's help and advice. Good luck at Atco. It's a bit far for me (about 2 hours away). Hope to see some new bests!!
