Hey Dom, I was in the tower watching your first run. Maybe you have your crew put you in the middle of the water box purposely, I prefer to roll through the box and a foot or two to not throw up water. My 10 cents. This is great advice. With all the rest of the stuff you have to think about, most people don't think about this. Lots of water gets thrown up in the wheel well and then drips back on to the tire. That can cost you at least a tenth depending on how wet your track keeps their water box. It's all the little stuff that adds up.

Haven't weighed it in a few years and will soon but guessing 3050+ lbs w/me fueled up....... My friend said the announcer said I went 6.13 on my last pass can anyone verify that? This track is like racing on a black top covered dirt road so maybe Famoso will show promise if I can make it...........

Take it to the MATS and enter the small tire shootout. You can get plenty of hits on the track then and run it in the shootout deal. I know a guy who could provide accommodations....

I'd consider that Al and ya never know but my real goal is a 6.0 anything then pretty sure I'm done for a long time after that........... probably your best bet racing quarter mile tracks but only running the car hard to the 1/8
