Times from TMP last night
Met Kevin last night at TMP. Got about 8 runs in, the best being a 15.1@93mph with a 60 ft of 2.29 seconds. The rest of the runs were all in the 15.3@93 mph range, but my 60's were all 2.4-2.5 seconds. Not sure if it is the tires, track, or a driver that needs some more practice, but the car just wouldn't hook up. If I could get a 2.0 ~ 2.1 60ft, I think it would run a high 14, which i would be very happy with for a bone stock car.

At the bend I was having a few issues to 
Got a blistering first run with a 2.596 60', was sideway's past the whole stand's, didnt straighten out till 3rd, and got me a beautiful 15 flat 1/4 mile @ 99mph. 
Best I managed was a 14.1, again at 99MPH.
Wtf, I have never gotten under 101mph before. Usualy its around 103-104mph.

I also drove the car in rush hour traffic for over 2hrs (averaging 20 km/hr) to get to Kitchener, then an hour to Grand Bend. The 401 was jammed all the way to Milton. Would that make a difference?

I had a bad night as well. I didn't get there till 10:00, so i only got two runs in. First one, the car was hot as hell sitting in that damn line, clutch was chattering like crazy.
I couldn't even do a burnout in the box! Jeez!
And then i get beat by a tahoe or something as I putt and bang and surge my way to the finish line at a blistering 17 something!
Yee haw!
Second time around i got a 15.0, but car was acting like total crap on me, particularily the clutch. Yeesh. I called it quits after that.
