The air looks great, 31% humidity and 30.10 Baro. as is now. Should be about the same tomorrow with air temps around 60* or so. If this track hooks the same as the track you ran your 1/8 mile bests at. I see a possible et anywhere from a 9.78 to 9.88 if you dont run into any mechanical problems or other gremlins. Im behind you all the way and hope you get your 9.?? sec. time slip. I know your cars capable of it. If all goes well it Will happen, mike

I think they fixed the dip right at the lights in the left lane, that is a great track your car will run its best number there. Everyone who races there are very friendly too, good food to be had also. Good luck and have fun.
Famoso is as smooth as any national event track in the nation....the Boswers actually had it done twice(first time didn't meet NHRA specs) last time it was resurfaced about 3 years ago....it's also one of the widest tracks in the country.

If you can equal your best 1/8 et and the car can run the back half .......9.76 If not and the car has no problems...... 9.80's for sure. Good luck!

You started this thread last Wednesday, when are you going to the track to collect that little piece of paper with a 9-something on it???
Today, that's why he was up at 3:48am. He's got maybe a 2-2.5 hour pull to Famoso from his place. He's probably teching right about now.
