Thanks for posting up SW OH so close, but it wasn't in the cards. Day started out with a few little problems, leaky oil return line from turbo, couple blown little hoses that kept popping off despite my best efforts to zip tie

It was pretty hot out and the track temp was way up!! The track was hookin early, and my first pass out with around 28psi was 1.53 60ft and a 10.1@138

Had a few more mid 1.50 60fts, but the rest of the pass was not clean.

Best pass of the day was

10.074@143.34mph ( I was a couple off when I talked to you SW)
1.55 60ft

I'm working on taking my video's off my camera tonight, I should have them up soon.

Thanks again for the support!!

Chris

I have this REALLY strong feeling that SW and Clint will hit up the track soon and crush my 10.0 when it cools a bit there too. I'll be heading out to the track sooner or later when it cools here as well.

Thanks again guys!!!
