Got a new best last night...

1st run:
60: 2.077...330: 5.558...1/8: 8.341 MPH: 89.04...1000: 10.716...
1/4: 12.717 MPH: 112.99

2nd:
60: 1.993...330: 5.430...1/8: 8.208 MPH: 89.08...1000: 10.578...
1/4: 12.578 MPH: 113.10

3rd:
60: 1.979...330: 5.388...1/8: 8.147 MPH: 89.73...1000: 10.504...
1/4: 12.492 MPH: 113.75

4th:
60: 1.995...330: 5.303...1/8: 8.048 MPH: 90.00...1000: 10.401...
1/4: 12.390 MPH: 113.76

Temp. was around 65 and the humidity was probably around 70-80%...so the weather wasn't bad but it wasn't real good either.

This SPEC stg3 is kinda hard to figure out. I only have about 500 miles on it right now and it's damn near impossible to slip so I bogged on those first three runs. I spun a little on the fourth. It grabs real good though so I'm kinda worried about the 10-bolt. Not so much on the launch but on the 1-2 shift...no spin at all with the Nittos (the track prep was pretty good last night too).

I'm pretty happy with those times so I'm probably done racing until Oct. or Nov. (when it starts to cool down again).

This was at "full" weight too (hardtop though), spare, jack, swaybar are all still in/on the car. Tank was at about 1/2-1/4.
