Couldn't quite pull the 'big' trip to the 1320, so I settled for the shorter ride to the local 8th mile track. The air was great, got down to -300 da towards the end of the night, but the track won't worth a sh!t. I got there late, but some boys who'd been there since they opened said they hadn't seen anyone spray the track the whole night.

That said, I only managed 1.8 sixty foots all night. I was launching relatively soft for a while, but ended up leaving from 55-6000 a couple times.

I went out with a goal of 8.29 or better. Best pass of the night was a 8.28 @ 84.6mph with a 1.82 short time.

This car is so much damn fun to have at the track. I got asked 3 times about the badges being fake, 4-5 times if I was spraying, once about boost, and had a DeRUNK ******* shake my hand twice, then hug me, then shake again before I could get the hell away, LMAO!

Here's a pic of the best slip, and a couple go-pro vids. My wife and brother have cell vids, good ones too, but I can't get them to my computer so these will have to do. Thanks for reading and watching!

Nice runs on that video, and congratulations on that PB. Your V6 is pretty stout! :)

Thank you Bob! I think for the most part I'm squeezing all I can out of the car. This particular night the track could've had a little better prep, as I usually sixty in the 1.75-1.80 range, and I can work on my shifts for sure, but it's not doing too bad.

Now I'm a little more confident in getting a 12sec slip this year. The car should be there, just hope I am. :beer:
