Still headed in the right direction

I headed over to E'town tonight to join Edgar (Redgar), and Dr. Ron in some 1/4 mile fun. The air was great when we first got there at 5:30 pm (-600 DA) but unfortunately they didn't allow us to run until well after 6:00 and the air was starting to turn around as the humidity increased.

Anyway, first run was an 11.34@123.7 with a crummy 1.72-60", as I spun thru the entire 1st gear, hitting the limiter and then hitting it again in second.

Second run...11.25@123.45 with a 1.69-60, followed by a 11.22@123.92 with a 1.70-60', and then my final and best run ever of 11.21@123.60 with a 1.65-60'.

Here are the incrementals:

RT.....384

60'....1.646

330'...4.693

1/8....7.212@99.07

1000'...9.386

1/4....11.214@123.60

BTW, all my 1/8 mile traps were between 99-100 mph.


I'm still quite a bit away from my goal of breaking into the 10's, but with better air coming and eventually a 60' in the low 1.5x region I believe I can achieve it.
