We'll see... I have to get up at 5am to work a traffic job tomorrow. I have no idea when I'll be finished, or if I'll be in ANY condition to go out. Hopefully, we'll meet up.

that you mean that you ran your car there. So come on, let us know what your ET's were!!! I'm sure they're still better than most of ours would be even if you ran lousy times since most of our MM's aren't S/Ced........

considering I just added a new metal intake tube, a Lightning heat-exchanger and had Drag Radials on: (weather totaly stunk, 90F and 70% humidity, you could cut air with a knife and everyone was sweating bullets) it was a miserable night!

I was actualy anticipating 13's all along. looks like it'll never happen.

I'll keep on trying though. I'll be satisfied with 13.999 @ 99mph
