1st pass...
.435, rt
2.245, 60' spinning ugly style and hooked then went str8 towards the wall and had to let out scary!
5.965, 330'
9.048, 8th @ 79.85
11.675, 1000'
13.870, 1/4 @ 102.75

2nd pass, this one scared the **** out of me I liked it alot
.087, rt best ever
2.009, 60' 3800rpm dump but the kicker is the car HOOKED HARD and it freaked the **** out of me so i let out then got back into it, never felt that before and got skeered
5.717, 330'
8.767, 8th @ 80.29
11.381, 1000'
13.569, 1/4 @ 103.03

3rd and last pass...
.478, rt
1.85, 60' 2800rpm dump decent 60' but i didnt bring the revs up high enuf, i'm investing in a 2-step and shift light now
5.499, 330'
8.515, 8th @ 80.81
11.112, 1000'
13.292, 1/4 @ 103.40

i got 3 new bests so i'm pleased with that, but both Kyle "Dragon Racing" and i were down on mph by about 4, it wasnt the greatest night for racing, 20mph headwind and the track just sucked, no kind of groove whatsoever, street tire night sucks at GIR. cars were fishtailing all over the place all night
oh well i had fun maybe next week will be better
next time i'm not leaving the line at anything under 4000rpm
i like the ET streets ALOT i got 12's in it with better weather

This is Illinois, if the weather sucks, just wait 30 minutes and check it again. Glad to see you getting some seat time with the stickies though, sounds like that was one of those "Priceless" moments.

What 2 step are you going with?
