Tell Billy Congrats and see you guys in a couple of weeks. Al.. You had inside info.. OK.. Nothing spectacular, but the car made 3 really efficient runs. 1st pass was just a foot brake roll into the throttle and get a feel of the car @ around 100mph. But Billy D didn't want to lose so he just peddled his way to stay in front and ran 12.20 @ 104.. Nothing fell off the car and no fluids were released.. Not even by the driver.. 2nd run left @ 4200 on the brake and blew the tires off, just after initial hit, ( 8 psi.) shifted immediately and went a 1.33 60ft. Let off rolled back in it a bit and went 6.59 in the 1/8th mile @ 99.85 and 11.33 @ 92.30 in the 1/4. Car went straight drove smooth and had no real issues. Last run left @ 5000 and blew the tires off again.. (7.5 psi)= track sucked.. but still managed 1.29 60ft Billy got out of it as the car was drifting. Went 11.01 @ 88.25 So all in all it was good. Like Al said.. Made it back in one piece.. Really no issues. Tried to make another run and the trans brake wire vibrated loose from the switch, so the car left before the tree came down.. no info. Got to fix that.. Yes those are Centerlines. Will be trying to go out again next weekend to prepare for the big races coming up..banna: And YES.. I am very happy.. Chris..

Hope your outing is successful. There was a news blip friday from the Phoenix news station. They were extracting a lil red mustang race car from a home. Guess the neighbor backed his car out of the driveway....did something... and his car ended up shooting forward and going into the neighbors home. That would be my luck! http://www.myfoxphoenix.com/dpp/news/local/nw_valley/car_into_home_020410

So now it is virtually ready for the Division 7 opener on the 26th of this month. The front end should be painted this week. Finishing up small details.. BTW. NHRA 8.50 cert = $150.00 + $50 for the NHRA tech guy... Chris..
