God! The Weather was GREAT!

I ask god to give me a 12.5 and He delivered.



60 1.747
1/4 12.570
MPH 109.02

What a great way to wrap up the year at the track!

Wait a minute! Quit making your car faster. How am I supposed to give ya a woopin when you keep getting faster? Now I have to shave over a second off again this winter to catch up.


Congrats Larry feels good doesn't it? I know I was stoked hitting 13.7 this year after being consistent last year at 14.8-14.9.

Was your T/A the red one that I ran against a few times, including launching mine once in second gear (the red 01 Formula)? If so, I may have some video you that my friend took with my camera. Not sure if he filmed your scoreboard time as well as mine.

Those were actually my worst launches of the year as the track was too cold for me, yet still decent. 60' average was around 1.49 vs. my usual 1.44 average. Best 60' was 1.463, worst, not counting my 2nd gear launch vs. you that I aborted, was 1.516. Instead of leaving around 3000-3400, I was leaving around 2200-2500.

I ran 8 runs between 10.72 and 10.82 with traps between 125.40 and 126.06, all with over 100 in the 1/8th mile. I know I have video of you on my camera, but my buddy probably followed my car only for the full run. Take care. Dave

Check your email as I sent you some pics and videos. I think you blew your gasket on the last run you made vs. my buddy's Buick as you really smoked going through the lights and after you left off. Still, it was flying. Get that thing figured out on the motor and you'll be in the 9's on the squeeze. Take care.
