    Talking Detroyed previous best 10/8 to 10/9 yawn

    Well up from my LONG day at the track yesterday. Got there about 9am and made my last pass at 1:45am this morning. Got home around 3:30am. Feel sorry for those racing and working at PRP today as I'm sure they were still racing when I got home. Only to start this all over at 8am today.

    Ended up with 6 passes and started out bad and ended up nearly in the 11's. I didn't touch a dang thing on the car. Only thing was I made damn sure to maintain 13psi in my slicks. Launch was a steady diet of 6000rpm and shocks struts at #3. Shifts stayed at 6300 1-2, 6250 2-3 and 6200 3-4

    First pass I think my head was up my ass. let clutch out before I had it in 2nd so nice crunch from gears.
    15.58@54.66 (1.61 sixty somehow) 11:38am

    Next pass had it in my head to make clean shifts but think I was a little slow on them.
    12.38@109.14 (1.61 sixty) 3:41pm

    Dialed 12.28 on car as I thought mid 20's. I wasn't close
    Goes 12.178@109.22 (1.60 sixty) standing on brakes before traps. Crossed traps first but saw other guys win light. Thought damn how far under did I go! This pass was slower time wise everywhere other than 1/4 compared to my 12.18 pass last week. 6:53pm

    Bought back in $30 and this turned out to be best $30 spent all weekend.

    Dial 12.16 10:31pm
    Goes 12.112@111.55 (1.58 sixty) 7.69@88.29 Won with a horrible .250 light

    Round 3

    Dial 12.11 12.43 am
    Goes 12.118@111.52 (1.61 sixty) 7.70@88.53

    Round 4

    Dial 12.11 1:45am
    Goes 12.07@111.72 (1.57 sixty) 7.66@88.34 Lost with a redlight

    Those last 4 passes I made were perfect from launch to finish. Made my shifts so quick and clean I think I scared myself. The launchs were perfect. Car just shot out forward picking up front nice and level. Will have scans of timelslips later.

    Exceptional Ed!

    I saw the buy back round, but left after that.

    I broke out first round, decided that it wasn't worth the $30.00 donation. With all the gear in the car now, it just wont 60' and I can't judge where I am with 1/10th variation to start. The good news is, mine survived, and I can drive it until the snow flies, then deal with these issues.

    There is an 11 in that thing with the right air ... I'm thinking Turkey race at Mason Dixon :D
