There was a 30 mph headwind and on and off drizzle...conditions were terrible, but I just heard from Peter that my car ran a 6.17, so a sub 5.9 is definately in the works. Everyone was running .4 seconds slower than their best times.
More importantly, I spanked the Walnut on the way home. Being the gentleman that I am, I let him get the jump from 60, and since my car doesn't make power until 70 in 3rd, he had a full 1.5 lengths on me by 70 when I hit boost.
By the time I hit the rev limiter in 4th at 146, he was nearly 4 lengths behind me. To his credit, Paulie ran a 7.0 today so he should get a 6.7 or maybe a 6.6 in perfect conditions.

All BS aside I must admit Seans car ran a 6.2 60-130 in less than perfect conditions.It really sounds bada$$ going down the track.I just wish Sean had some taste in cloths,all his taste must be in his mouth.jeeez

I apparently I can run 135.7mph in the 1/4 mile, but I only ran a best of a 7.4 this time. My 6.69 was with less mods and in the same weather. Not sure what is up with the car.

No 4's for me 
the guy I was borrowing tires didn't wake up so I had run on smaller ones. The head wind was hurricane like atleast 30mph!

Did some high way pulls against some fellow speedsters on the way to the event when the weather was fabulous! However, the weather was not ideal for me to run as well as time factor :-( Had an airport pickup at 130 pm.
Sorry
