He was on Mickey Thompsons. I could only manage a 1.9xx on my R888's. That is a great second half pull. I think I ended up with 26mph the next day.

I thought you were 120mph on Sunday?

Yea, on MT drag radials.. I really needed to heat them more but they sure helped with the 60-foot time.

Your car sounded great, glad you made it to the event!

Yea.. using the online calculators my 1/8 of 7.446 should have been a 11.69 1/4 .. so the car is great on the top end.

Most people thought that I could have picked up quiet a bit if I had softened my shocks, hooked up my rear bar and did a few other adjustments. But, aside for the radials, I wanted to run in my street trim.

I don't know why my brain just saw 126 ??? I need some afternoon coffee.

And you know what they say.. about trying and breaking stuff..

I wasn't about to let Hot Rod or Car Craft take home the trophy.. now Camaro Performers has the best autocross and best drag trophies for this year.. I might have to build a drag car for next year though.

I think your car ran great for being on R888s.. you need to borrow my DRs.
