Went up to Stanton last night to play as the weather report was looking good. The first of the real fall weather in MI :> ) And Mother Nature smiled and said "go fast". Well I did my best to do just that.
I started out at 5:18pm with a 12.803@105.75 and followed that with a 12.803@105.99
I came back out at 6:05 and ran 12.725@106.32 still nothing to brag about because my previous best is a 12.703@107.3
The next pass at 6:18 was a 12.698@106.82 I was pretty stoked as this was the first 12.6anything.
72°, 30.02, and 50% humidity. A fellow racer with a DA calculator said it was reading 96'....good air.
At 7:04 I ran a 12.675@106.93 kewl I'd just backed up my run. But there was more fun to be had!!
At 7:24 I went out and over loaded the converter and pushed deep into the lane resulting in a poor 60' and a 12.738@106.97
Well, I work the midnight shift 1 hour and 15 minutes from the track so time was really getting short. I went back for that one more pass before changing tires and packing up.
62°, 30.02 baro, and 60% humidity.
Drum roll please!!!

Congrats on the new PB's Al!!
Thats a pretty fast Bird for your mods!
Factory Freak LOL

 

Did you have any buddies taking video of your car and possibly my red 01 Formula out there last night. I went up there without my camera buddy and would love to have a pic/video of my first runs in the 10's.

 

...one other note, I was hoping that the baro was going to be better than it was (30.01-30.04), but the hurricane held off the high from building in quicker. Take care.

 

Congrats on the hot times in the cool weather, Al. Watchin those ETs creep down musta been fun. Betcha didn't get any sleep at work THAT nite! See ya at M7. Duncan

 

Transamtom,
thanks, I don't think it's a freak. But 107+mph in good air with an A4 with a high stall on ET streets ain't bad either.

Nope I was all by my lonesome last night. And I'm sorry to say that I missed every run that you made. If you remember I stopped and eyeballed your car right after tech. I noticed right off that it was a Formula
