New personal best was a 12.814 at 106.71mph. It was a great weekend and it was great to see everyone out there. Now I have to try to get more seat time to improve on my reaction time.

Ok, I'll fill in the blanks


The combo is a MP 360 W/ eddy heads (OOTB),727 W a TA manual/automatic VB, 8 3/4 W/ 3:91 gears weighing around 3500#'s.

The best the car ran before was before the exhaust was put on and added about 100#'s. That was also with Dad driving and it was in the 12.70's Gina;s best (before the added weight) was a 12.951.

Due to her lack of seat time she has never driven the car faster than dad has. Not till now anyways.

The weekend before this dad had ran the car at a track rental and was running constantly in the low 12.90's.

So, not only did she finally drive the car to it's full potential, she bettered dads ET with the same combo.

What she's also not telling everyone that she had it pretty much dialled in as almost every run was a 12.81 just a different number in the thousandths.

Only goal I think we have for the car is as fast as it will go and still be street-able

Ain't no way it will ever be blue, I have grown to really like the car the way it is painted. Painting it blue would ruin it in my opinion.
