BTW: did 4th gear slip or something on the 10.0 run?
Actually, I have a pinched nerve, which almost kept me from racing Friday night. But, being a stubborn, tuff, old boot I just had to go racing. On that pass, the ole left leg could not do the trick and was slow on the clutch pedal on the 3-4 shift. Since the right foot stays down, the rpms started zinging up before I got the clutch back out. You can hear it as it finally grabbed... pretty well wasted a possible 9 sec pass right there.

A couple of beers at Hooters helped me forget the pain. Or, maybe it was lookin at the babes that helped with that ?!!

So, what got you started in this madness of searching for LOW ET's?
Just been slowly improving the performance over the last 4 years from a stock 12.60 to where she is now, which kept it interesting and fun. Finishing off my racing career that got cut short when I got married and had kids -- now, both are 25 and 26 yrs old, and I am having fun.

On this pass, you can see that I like ta chew my cigars (Philies Blunt Chocolate Aroma !) and you can see that the boost gauge (Autometer) is touching on 25 psi at the end of the run !!
