Wish me luck

Will be going to Cedar Falls raceway in Iowa (AKA The House of Hook) tomorrow. Went to Brainerd Int'l Raceway in early August, but they didn't prep the track as we had it rented primarily for the road course and ran a 13.03@108. They didn't have the 60' lights up so I am not sure what those numbers were, although I was burning the tires through first and part of second . Hopefully with the CC306, long tubes, bullet race muffler to a turndown, 2800 stall vigilante, and nittos I will be able to get a 12.7-12.4. Car put down 351.2rwhp/364.9rwtq, do those times seem reasonable?

BTW, they will be prepping the track to support a couple of super street class??? bikes which are running in the 6's, so I am pretty sure the traction will be great. Weather is supposed to be low-mid 70s, partly cloudy and not too humid.

Re: Wish me luck

108 is enough power to put you easily in the lower to mid 12's depending on track, air, drivetrain and suspension.
