If we miss you guys for breakfast at Spring Grove, we'll see you at the track around 9:00.
Looks like we may have a smaller turnout than normal.

Sorry I missed you guys Friday & Saturday....
Sorry I missed you guys Friday & Saturday....I had plans to attend both events but as luck would have it, Friday, after picking-up my car at the shop, it died on the way home, and Ward over at D&M came and got it and brought it back to the shop. They repaired it Saturday morning - apparently my new MSD distributor cap and new rotor I put on last Summer, didn't like each other and the center contact eroded away in less the 500 miles....I picked up the car Saturday about 11:45 but that was too late to chase you all down....Thanks to Ward and his son over at "Snake Power Performance" for the assistance and fast turn-around...Great work guys....

Ran an 11.62 at 118, but tires were slipping about half as much as they used to in 1st, 2nd and a little in 3rd with 20psi....dropped tire pressure to 16psi and broke another half-shaft at a 1500 rpm release I think the next run would have been 11.5 or better! 
It was fun while it lasted.
Going back to the T/A's and enjoying this season. This winter's project is a Ford 9", limited slip, 3.73, IRS, and maybe even slicks. Will also change to 17" rims for better tire selection in road race events.
The BMW IRS is good for what BDR intended, but not for what I intend.
Chris or anyone else for that matter, I have a deal on some 325/50/15 BFG drag radials with less than 100 miles.

What a mess, killed the engine on the line once, then red lighted and watched the green light for a while. Did manage a 11.8 at 111.8. I need a new clutch foot

I managed 11.8 @ 119mph. 60 ft was bad, and could have shifted better...next time. A couple of 11.9's as well. Finally, the 11 sec club! |

I did see an impressive progress being made on starting line procedures and the shifting was generally coming along nicely altho there was way too much time on the rev limiters, killing off the accelleration
Looking forward to going again

As usual I brought up the rear. 12.50. First run. After that I was in the 13. Got my butt handed to me by Mike M.(Yes in his wife's car.) I'm going back to bed...
