R/T - .180
60' - 2.286
330 - 5.967
1/8 - 9.001
MPH - 81.32
1000 - 11.598
1/4 - 13.781
MPH - 102.74

Who ever thought I would ever get 12 runs at Englishtown on a saturday! Thats unheard of!!!! I also made three new personal bests with a lower 60ft, faster ET & MPH! I am more then excited! All I need to do now is launch harder, and open the cut-out and I can defenitly see some lower times.

I started the morning off with a 14.1 with the air-filter on. Then I removed the air-filter and went 14.0 but it sorta went down hill from their because I was hot-lapping ending with a botched launch (forgot traction controll was on) resulting in a 23 second 1/4

. I finally took a chance to open the hood and let the Electric water pump do its job and cool the engine down when I finally ran a 13.8!!! I was so excited, the next few runs resulted in low 14's with high mphs then I finally busted out a 13.7 after another break!

Only thing I did different was hit 3rd every time

, but I rolled out of the light each time to save my car from abuse and just got on it. One thing I think I could use are bigger gears or a harder launch. I end up crossing the traps at the top of 3rd and Im forced to shift into 4th and thats probably hurting since the RPM's drop so low.

But thats about it...

P.S Where do I find pictures from todays event from the track photographer?
