Track was wet from freezing rain and I was soft pedalling it off the line.

I'm also tapping the rev limiter in every gear. Relatively untuned right now. Jumping on the dyno in about 2 weeks.

I hit 12.11@116mph twice. Once its tuned it should be good for mid to low 11s. No bottle. No blower. All motor.

Oh and I found out some piss poor tranny mechanic managed to re-install my rear sway bar UPSIDE DOWN!! Yeah figure that one out. It was pressed up against the rear pumpkin cover instead of hugging the bottom lip of it so it was keeping the car from squatting.

Hey Grip!

I've met you before. My uncle drives the SS SLP Camaro Convertible (POSSUM). He lent you a helmet when you were in the paper talking about the helmet rules because you have a turban.

I was the one driving the white 64' Pontiac Acadian when we dropped off the helmet.

Sputnik: Cool. I worked everything out with the track so everything is good now. Tell Art I said hi. :)

One thing I noticed about grip at the track was his reaction time :eek: . He cut almost perfect lights everytime. What was your best reaction time grip? I dont think I heard one over .600?

Yeah .630 or something.

I wasn't really trying for a good reaction time either. :D

Maybe I'll "try" next time.

Need to get a bigger alternator first. Found out my fuel pump isn't getting enough voltage off the line.
