I went down to atco tonight with the intentions on breaking into the 12s in a bone stock car. Unfortunately, technically that didnt happen.. I made a retarted number of runs tonight (11 total on a clutch that has smelled better) and I was stuck in the 13.3x range most of the early night, which isn't bad, but not what I was hoping for. Mike and Tim strapped on mike's SLP lid and the following two runs just lit up the tires cause the dew came in. I waited a while.. noticed that cars looked like they were hooking up again, and came back and ran a 13.10, 12.92, 12.94 and then..... a 12.805 @ 109.23!!!

So now what? I have a car that I wanted to do absolutely no modifications to that just ran what, like 4 tenths better than it should have?? I mean, its stock to the paper filter, with a flowmaster muffler (not cat back.. just muffler), and currently mike's SLP lid. So now im thinking, imagine what its gonna be like when i have a clutch that actually works.. maybe a short throw... a tune... some tires other than KDWS..

ugh. maybe ill go back and start throwing money at my 79 again. If i throw the equivalent of my car payment at it every month, maybe it'll be a 12 second car too
