Keep in mind, afternoon sun, 90degrees and 90% humidity.

This turned out to be my 1st run and best.
I have learned it is a lot harder than it looks and will be happy to be a spectator again.

Hey Tom,

That's a great pass for a first time ever run. My first time ever run is in my sig. That was my first pass and like you, it was my best of the night. Except for the !CAGS, it looks like we have the same mods. We certainly both have great taste in color selection!!

For me, I couldn't get the thing to launch worth a damn. The car pulls very hard through the top-end of 2nd and through 3rd, which is where I made up for my crappy launch. I shifted to 4th at 100mph, 6k rpms, just before the traps. I'm convinced that if I can learn to launch better, that I would find a 13.1 or 13.2 hiding in there somewhere. I don't intend to make it a regular thing to go to the track though. A couple of times a year is enough. I know the car goes like stink, so I don't have to tear it up. The downside is that the only way to get better at the launches is to practice, practice, practice. Since I'm not making regular trips to the track, I'll try to be satisfied knowing I have a rock-solid mid-13's car that with a better M6 drag racer, would go faster still.

Have fun!!

Andy
