    Very strong to be losing so much on the 60' Dave. Some MT/ET streets with about 15lbs. of pressure and you would easily be in the 11's.
    Way to go Dave(y)

    well you can do this

    show up...

    run it hard.... break the 11.49 and let them tell you to leave..... then you set it up to run a high 11 consistantly...and enter the pot rush every night


    i would LOVE for them to tell me to leave...it means i went REAL fast :) ;)

    Dave I'd get me a copy of that new rule allowing 11.49 and take it with you the next time you go....I know it changed to 7.49 for the 1/8th in January too. If they still say 11.99 run it hard through the 1/8th and get out of it.
    20 lbs. may as well be 30 the way these cars react, I get the best bite at 13-15 lbs, still a little slippage but 10 times better than at 20.
    You may as well figure on making another trip cuz you know you aint gonna be happy until you find out just how fast it is :hmmm: :D
