To Illwood (sp?)

Hi. Nice to meet you at new england dragway. You back yet? My best was a 13.2 @ 106.6 due to the cars tracking water through the start line. Did you run yours? How did you do for times.

Hey Steve, I got back around 11pm (went to Pizza Hut w/ my buddy who was racing his caprice).

My best was a 15.1 @ 93.0 I was hoping to at least break into the high 14's. But I guess that's not doing to bad for no engine mods and still running the 3.08 rear. I think my last run of the night could have bumped me into the 14.9 area, but I had no traction through most of 1st.

Any suggestions for a 1/4 mile n00bie?

Advance the timing and less weight? How much gas did you have in your car. I had about 1/2 a tank and I usually race with a quarter of a tank for weight purposes. Sticky tires always help.

Track preparation was really horrible that night. So many stupid hondas driving right through the damn waterbox. An integra did it right in front of me and really pissed me off. I wanted to say something to him in the lanes but he turned off.
