I went down atco tonight and there was a nice handful of 4-gen f-bodies and and half dozen or so GTO's......

Cold out that's for sure, but a good time....

I went down on a set of 16" BFG DR's and was hoping for some improved 60' times which would lead me to much improved ET's but didn't master the launch technique and only got three runs......

first run
12.81 @ 107.44 with a 2.022 short time, but I missed 4th??? (how you do that is beyond me). At the 1/8 I was 8.133 @ 91.00.....so there was potential

second run
12.51 @115.31 with a 2.034 short time, nailed all the gears.....At the 1/8 I was 8.192 @ 90.84....still didn't get out of the hole real good....

third and final run
MISSED second or was it third....I don't know, but I did improve the short time with more RPM at launch and and had a 1.95 short time, better...but still not good...

With the kind of MPH I'm putting down I should be able to get a loooow 12 high 11...but I have to get the launch down better.....

maybe next time
