Unhappy Last pass in the old 'vert

No i didnt break anything...but the car has such a minimal amount of improvement left in it the way she sits that i have no reason to run her again. It's been fun, and i've learned alot, and ive accomplished something to be proud of...so now I'm going to push the sale of the car and take it off insurance and all that jazz. So without further ado my last 4 passes in the car:

1st pass
60.....1.891
330....5.407
1/8....8.315
MPH...83.61
1000..10.827
1/4....12.940
MPH...106.85
vid
(Batteries died after this pass so only one vid...sorry...btw my shifting improved ALOT in later passes...i was very dissapointed in how i banged the gears during this pass)

2nd pass
60.....1.859
330....5.414
1/8....8.332
MPH...83.55
1000..10.849
1/4....12.974
MPH...106.33

3rd pass
60.....1.833
330....5.365
1/8....8.276
MPH...83.86
1000..10.789
1/4....12.911
MPH...106.42

4th(and final )pass
60.....1.827
330....5.350
1/8....8.248
MPH...84.33
1000..10.748
1/4....12.858 NEW BEST
MPH...106.93 NEW BEST

made it to page one of the timeslips page!

i am sure at some point we will be able to influence j0n back to the track. it is easy to quit now, it will be hard to stay retired once the weather warms up again.
i still say you shoudl go back to teh track and see if you can find the 12.7 that you know is in it before you quit.

congrats on the new times!!!

He's got full exhaust, 4.10s, DRs and skinnies. I think he's got some tuning too, but I'm not sure.
