    Man, I need some sticky tires and a posi! :D My best ET of the night was a 14.032 @ 99.95! My best mph was on a 14.041 @ 101.24! I did make one of my goals, which was to break 100 mph. My 60' times were 2.146 and 2.377 respectively on those runs, so if you note, my high mph came on my run with the worst 60' time (ok I did have one even worse where I spun the tires real bad), so I was really coming on. My 1/8 mile mph on that run was my fastest so far as well at 81.64 mph. If the carb spacer did anything, it made my traction problem worse. :D
