Well off to Atco Tomorrow (Sunday) last chance till next year. I put in a new turbo 400 trans with 5000 stall. The 1st gear is lower so hope my 60 foot times get better. Hoping for new best time. Car is tunned for bear.

Need for speed have to go! Have to get it out of my system for the winter.

Anyone else going??? See you there....

Can't make it, most of the top of my engine is still sitting on my workbench.

What kind of number are you hoping for? You were in the high 11s already, right?

Well the best to date is 11.51 @ 116.8 in the chill... 80 degree weather runs 11.70's Looking for 11.3-

If my 60' drops down to the 1.55 area or so then I should see 11.3's I hope the higher stall and the lower 1st gear takes me there.

Well it was a good day. Way to many test and tune cars! Most like 90% were street cars on street tires.

The track was cold! Lots of oil downs. The few real cars had trouble hooking. Times for everyone were way off. My tires were spinning all the way down the track. Very bad traction bad hook off the line.

Well I managed to rip off one decent pass 11.56 @ almost 118 mph. From others that I talked with they said the were off 2-3 tenths from their norm. So I guess I have to wait till next year to find out me new best.
