De-Throwned!
Well, my wife and I headed out to Fontana today. Very crowded and windy, we couldn't even use our eazy-up. 
First pass, the incredible happened, or inevitiable ... I was dethrowned from my best ET in my car, and with even less mods mind you. She clicked off a 12.745 @ 104.92 on a 1.724 60' (my best 60' was a 1.723! 
). Only made four passes the whole night, ending with a 12.750 @ 106.31 on a 1.780 60'.

Hurry up and do all the mods you plan then I'll race ya. I don't want to hear any excuses as to why you didn't finish first.
Congrats on the new best.

Keep it up! We will hook up in a few weeks. By that time 6 cars will be running in the mid to low 12's.

I think the real race should be between Jennibella and Mike.

Well my clutch disc decided it didn't like those springs inside of it and proceeded to break them in several pieces or plain dislodge them. I won't be able to drag my car until I get my truck running again. I'm also at a severe disadvantage now with my RR suspension setup with my stiff springs and hard Koni shocks/struts.
