New best after 5 years - 11/26/11 03:04 AM

Don't spend much time here anymore as life has been crazy, but I got to make a 1/4 pass at the Mopars at the Rock race the last weekend of October and the car ran a new best. Someone who actually takes the time to tune could probably get another tenth or so out of it.

it left real good. not sure why the 1/8mile race before I ran never cleared off the scoredboard, but at the end the anouncer calls out the 9.59@137.xx

Thanks Chip.

yeah, I guess I was wrong.

The slip didn't print real well and I just glanced at it. When I watched the video, I heard him say 9.59 so i went and looked at it closer and it is 9.59. Still a new best, just not as much as I thought when I talked to you.

Nice seeing you again

Nice seeing you again too! Your new challenger is nice! I know you normally run 1/8 mile, but I think the Duster would benefit from taking some gear out of it for the 1/4. No more than you run the 1/4 though, I'd leave it alone.
