Not that it is a huge deal but I finally got the truck into the 12's last night. I had 4 runs and all were in the right hand lane. Temperature was 71.1 with a Dew Point of 54 degrees. The Track is 1250ft above sea level.

Since the ink is so crappy I will list the times so peoples eyeballs don't go crazy
R/T... .464
60'... 1.825
330... 5.325
1/8... 8.290
MPH... 82.90
1000... 10.834
1/4... 12.985
MPH... 104.49
Going to a DA correction at 2395 the times and traps converet to 12.63 @ 107.44
As of right now I am very pleased with the trucks performance but the facility I go to is not so great. Last night they had no tower times (people were pissed) , you had to go through the water box (people were pissed) and it took forever inbetween runs for very few cars (people were pissed).And the ink on the timeslips are nearly invisible (I"m Pissed)
I did talk to many of the local racers who said basically take your e.t. and improve it by .2ths because the track is known to be a slow track. So to say the least I am very pleased/excited. My best time was coming in directly off the highway, car sat for 20 minutes and then I ran the 12.9. All the other runs consistantly got slower because I was getting huge hesitation between the 2-3 shift, I actually think the car was too cool (if that is possible) and not at operating temps. But after my first run I was happy enough to go home. I will go back 1 more time in the fall on a good weather night. Or find a better track.
