I agree with TT, third gear sounds a little funny. Did you notice anything during the run that this could be?

Great run, none the less.

Note to Paulie: I am the ONLY ONE in this group with the ***** big enough to race BHT from a dig...I did however tell him he must run street tires! He didn't like that! LOL

Note to Paulie: Sean doesn't have the ***** to run anyone from a dig, although we'll see if he shows on 9/19...

Note to Paulie: Get your clutch done so I can drag your *** from a dig!

HoustonT, I thought that was your start date! Good luck. Are you loving the GTR? They're growing on me.

TT, it got put up WET about 3 months ago. I traded it back in on an '09 Tahoe. I got married in January, and we recently found out we have a baby on the way. Along with all of this and a new start-up/change of careers, I know it was the right move. But hey, that's the new estrogen in me talking . I am having severe withdrawals, especially the colder it gets on weekends.

And they were running bikes all day, so the good traction was in the wrong part of the track. Any way, on my first pass I was able to run a 10.88 at 133. 60' was 1.8 while losing traction. I can't wait to get those drag radials on. Then I'll be able to launch it even harder. I did to more passes, 10.9 and 11.1. All at 133. I'll post the video as soon as I can this weekend. After checking the pbox data, I have increased my mid range power almost 10%. Mike Bailey made a graph for me that I will post with the video.
Please clarify if your car is a Tippy, this is significant info for any
performance data,
thanks
