Since the Snowbird Nationals are going on this weekend i knew i wanted to capitalize on the cool air of this week so i went to Desoto tuesday night. a buddy gave me some old Compt T/A R1s. i was hoping they would hook better than the street tires even though they had a thinner contact patch. on the way to the track i realized that one was way out of balance or flat spotted crap
anyway i still hit a new et record with the 60 degree air and 6 of the 9 runs were under 12.2 seconds.
i was pretty excited to break into the 11s for the 1st time. not bad for a full interior/ A/C cd playing daily driven family car. it also looks stock as can be i wonder what the heck the car would run with some decent Nitto drag radials? and some even cooler air??? hmmm that would be sweet.
i also cut a perfect .500 light on my 2nd pass of the night that was pretty cool. in Louisiana they give nice prizes for cutting a perfect light. it was a fluke for me im not that good it just happened.
there was a wicked corvette painted in the Blue and white Grandsport colors with a built motor and nitrous running low 11s (almost 10s) and a nice black supercharged mustang running low 11s too. it was the night for 11s. but my car looks and sounds like a 14 second car and that makes it that much sweeter to me. oh did i mention it is practically silent? heck i cant even hear the exhaust.
i might go to the van dyke burger king car show saturday night hope to see you there.... where the heck are my tamparacing.com stickers???? hmmmm
