Got to love this cool fall air

I ran at the Import Vs. Domestic race this past weekend at MIR and the track and air were just about as perfect as it could be. I told my girl going in this weekend that I wanted to beat my personal best's. The car has prviously gone 9.83 @ 136.xx with a 1.31 60ft. Well the car ran dead on all weekend. I lost in the 2nd round but it was a good way to lose. I went red but decided to run it all the way out, why waste a bunrout etc. etc. When i got my time ticket I was shocked, had to make sure I was reading the correct side of the ticket and make sure it was mine.
9.77 @ 137 with a 1.30 60ft all motor on a 275 drag radial. I cant wait till this weekend and see what it does, its the last race so I am going for broke, 150 shot of juice.

Re: Got to love this cool fall air

Those old south sides work well after you learn how to slow down the rise of the front end. Only draw back are all the stock suspension class stuff wont let use play with them.

Nice runs Dennis. I had seen a few of your pics on yellowbullet from this weekend and was wondering what you ran. Let us know what you run on spray.
