0BD65F49-9762-4DF1-8B21-8154F598E291.jpeg My reaction time was moot but I did good I think. I wanted to do a third run but there were major delays with fluid on the track so I left before I could do my third run. I’ll be back when it’s colder! Going to dip in the 10s next time that’s my goal 🙃. Was funnn even with my bad reaction time I won both races. 11.08 at nearly 127mph on my second run. 11.12 at 127.6 first run. I wasn’t going to crazy out of the hole I’d say 2/3 gas. Both runs I shifted the car manually myself 😄 that’s how I roll. This was with my stock Redeye 3.09s just CAI and Nitto 555R2s On the rear. I took as much weight out of the car trunk stuff floor mats & junk. Was around 2/3-3/4 tank of fuel. I’m right lane on both passes

103 in the 1/8th is pretty good.

Nice, that’s exciting and cooler weather should help a lot. Don’t eat a day ahead as well that will save some weight🤪. Just ask @vortecd 😁

WTG Matt glad to see you went to the track?
Is ATCO only giving you 3 passes? English town was like that.

No it’s 100 10-4.. the problem was I got there a bit after 11 still had to hit the speed shop for a helmet so I got out about 11:20 or so.. I made the 2 passes and then after 1 the track was shutdown from a spill all up the right lane.. so we’re waiting for the rest of the “Big Boys” in lane 3-4 to empty (I’m in lane 10) but it was just a debacle.. a few cars later a spill down the left.. so I just called it a day.. I was done waiting and figured chances were with another 12or 14 pairs awaiting launch there might be even another spill.. so I head home like 2:15.. takes me an hour from there plus I was getting hungry too and hot in direct sunlight on my pale white a$$

Next time I got I’m getting there right as the gates open I figured that out today. Another guy with a cat got 4 passes in he was there early.. seems like most of the “big boys” don’t get there until after 11:30 or so

Kind of surprised a 103 trap in the 1/8 only netted 127 on the big end. That’s 4mph better than my Charger used to do at half track but 1mph better than my trap.
That was stock power and almost 5000lb race weight.
