here goes:
it was a fun weekend. during t&t on fri i got a good run and ran a 9.88. i didn't get a slip because friday was a big cluster****. so i guess no slip = didn't happen.
saturday during true street they said if you run in the nines, you BETTER have all of your stuff in order (which i don't).
1st pass- launched 3000 @ 3.5# 1.60 60' 10.16@114. i got on the brakes pretty good at the 1000ft. i ran 114 in the 1/8.
2nd pass- 1.70 60 10.44@102. same deal, 113 in the 1/8.
3rd pass- said screw it, i'll run it out the back and get my 9 sec slip. 1.58 60' 10.17@135. WTF?!? it was breaking up pretty good, which it didn't do the other passes at all. i lost 4.5 mph in the 1/8.
that gave me a 10.24 avg, which placed me 3rd in true street (out of 120 cars). i also get $100 for the lowest 10 sec avg. not bad showing for standing on the brakes 2 out of 3 runs.
i got to run in a top 8 true street heads up race. i took 3 jets out of the back, hoping to clear up the car. well, i guess i of fouled the plugs on the 2nd run, because it broke up again to a 10.15@135. next round i lined up against the #1 true street winner. he did a 3ft wheel stand and killed me. this pass was the same as the last two. 10.18@133, breaking up.
