Re: Ran 11.597
Thanks. Posting a quick time is one thing. Just mash the throttle and go. Running, and winning, a bracket race is another. That requires skill. That's where I can tell I'm just not as good as I used to be. It's still fun don't misunderstand I'm just not winning as much as I used to. I loose and I feel, crap, screw it, sell the truck and quit. By the next day I ready to go back. Go figure...:rotf:

Re: Ran 11.597
Last week produced an 118.03mph. Don't where that came from. Most runs are 115-117.with ET's still in the 11.7 to 11.9 range. This thing pulls amazingly hard at the top end. You can literally feel it come in around half track. Proof? 60' times are virtually all 1.8 something. Yet 1000' to1320' is in the low 1.9's. It just won't hook. Still haven't replaced the tires. I leave at around 2400 and maybe 6# boost. Still 19# through the traps and no knock. Really haven't fooled with it.
This week made 4 passes and the rad started leaking so came home.
And Dave, Trans shifted just fine so I'll just keep an eye on it so-to-speak.

Re: Ran 11.597
Thanks! I appreciate it. Last night was the last night for Wednesday Night Drags. So what the heck. Paid my extra $10.00 and bought into "Jackpot". $10.00 per car. More cars = bigger pot. 3rd & 4th runner-up get their money back, for the two finalist it's either winner take all or split 50/50. Usually everyone splits. I went to the final, we split, I took home $110.00. Yippee!! What a nice way to end the season. The final was between a me and a friend so it was great fun. Yes I lost the final but I didn't care just getting to it was the real fun part.
Truck was very consistent. Of the 3 rounds that mattered I was within .043 of my dial or less. Cool. I'm not usually that good. Jackpot is very competitive. Usually 4-5 "heavy hitters". IE trailer cars with all the electronics.
Fun when you win though...:lol:
PS The best ET was the first run of the evening. 11.579. Everything after that was 11.6 something.
