Hey Bob. It was on the return road 
Right lane 99.54 at 12:23pm 1/4 was 123.90 11.28 1.68
Right lane 97.86 at 12:58pm 1/4 was 121.33 11.38 1.65 no doubt heat soak
Left lane 99.66 at 2:18pm 1/4 was 118.78 11.34 1.72 spun on launch.
Pulled timing up top.
So, interestingly the left was 3-5mph off from the right. That was after 1:20 cool down. But I also added a little timing mid and top since it had cooled and I was running 104. Apparently it didn't like it and yanked it. Since that was the last pass I bumped my launch up a tick to about 5,000 even and it spun a touch before catching it. But, big power in the 1/8 before the heat zombies came around.
Didn't see you out there today. Were you lurking about??

i wasnt out at the track today, we were out there yesterday with 3 grudge cars... As far as lurking, i only live 2 miles from the dragstrip and my shop is even closer LOL..
Got it. Yeah...dunno if I was seeing that today with those numbers I showed you. But....whatever the case, I wasn't wanting to hammer on it too hard today with the weather.
Never visited your establishment, but I'd heard you can pretty much walk the dog and be at the strip. Convenient! I don't get out there often, but next time you're around and if you see my big old fat Ford around, come over and wake me from my nap. (Getting old sucks. Not getting old sucks worse!)
54 tomorrow!
I have your number in my phone for the day when I puke a bunch of parts at the line. It's gonna happen. I just don't know when.

not a 10 :-o
i was there more to try and get the car to leave straight and "try" to make it hook
Good to meet you too BJ. We all had a blast. Not to mention, on 39n on the way home we all had a chance to do some roll races. I think they got a few on video, and I know they got our runs from Byron on tape. I will try to get links for you soon. We got to do this again soon. Maybe in a few weekends from now, GLD this time?
Cool. Send away. Can't wait to see.
Maybe they caught the one where they can see the look on my face when my a/f gauge popped out into my lap!!
