Sucks it had to be at the end of the year on a super cold day, 5° on a unprepped track, but hey, take what you can get.
So for the first time at the track on the new combo I ran 11.85@128.31mph on 18" drag radials.
I'm pretty happy for my first real pass of the year. This is a manual car with a real short tire 25.6" tall. I plan on running a 15" drag wheel with 275-60-15 next year. That should get me into the 10's.
I ran 6 back to back runs, everyone 128.something mph very consitent.

Video of the run from a different angle. A better one
