Man, what a crazy night and AWESOME day. First off I towed myself out there the night before(a first)cos my crazy friend didn`t make it and I slept in his truck. I forgot my spare clothes, tooth brush and jacket and froze my ass off in his NASTY DIRTY truck from about 10:00 pm till 6:00 am in which I hardly slept a wink and was starving to boot. Anyhow, I unloaded my heap, got it through tech and jumped in line not knowing for sure what it would run but really just wanted a 9.8 anything and after my typical crappy burnout I left at about 2000 rpm`s and let er rip. It felt good but not THAT good so I was somewhat surprised to see the slip which looks like this:
rt..156
60`.1.395
330.3.991
1/8.6.210
mph.110.40
1000.8.144
1/4..9.797
mph..135.59
It was a blast meeting and hanging out with the Moparts members(u knw who u r)cos my CRS is in full effect right now, and was a long awaited and overdue journey to say the least...........I`m hungry tired and am gonna slug down some brews so thankxxx to all that helped w/my quetions and what not..........PEACE. 
Well I gota say that was a ton of fun.
Here was the left lane #s
R/t .320
60' 1.42
330 4.102
1/8 6.366
mph 108.25
1000 8.331
1/4 9.997
mph 134.94
talk about mixed feelings, My first 9 second pass and got to watch Dom.s street tired, mufflered car pull away from me. Anyway it was great to fially me a couple members and race with them.
Bright side, I got five runs and the ony car I lost to was a Mopar!
Hope to see you in Vegas DOM

Can't argue one bit about the track Chassisman! Just wish I would have had the 137mph like I did back in Sac a few years ago. Thinking my 134 was showing how tired my mill is.
....Sac has issues....their lights are WAY off.....they NEVER check their roll out....and I run 3-5 mph faster there....Famoso was set and squared by laser......mark my words.....Famoso will be hosting National Events within 5-7 years.

Congrats on the time Dom. I am new to the board as far as posting but not the site and I will be on here a lot more. I live in Hesperia and didn't even know that Famoso was racing this weekend. I could have made a trip with ya. Can't wait for Irwindale to reopen. So who all are going to Las Vegas in 3 weeks. Hope to see and meet a lot of fellow Mopar people from this board there.

 That`s part of it but by the time I add the cage and net it`ll be a 10 flat car again plus they didn`t even look twice at me..........
