I agree with TT, third gear sounds a little funny. Did you notice anything during the run that this could be?

Great run, none the less.

Note to Paulie: I am the ONLY ONE in this group with the ***** big enough to race BHT from a dig...I did however tell him he must run street tires! He didn't like that! LOL

Note to Paulie: Sean doesn't have the ***** to run anyone from a dig, although we'll see if he shows on 9/19...

Note to Paulie: Get your clutch done so I can drag your *** from a dig!

HoustonT, I thought that was your start date! Good luck. Are you loving the GTR? They're growing on me.

TT, it got put up WET about 3 months ago. I traded it back in on an '09 Tahoe. I got married in January, and we recently found out we have a baby on the way. Along with all of this and a new start-up/change of careers, I know it was the right move. But hey, that's the new estrogen in me talking . I am having severe withdrawals, especially the colder it gets on weekends.

I can't wait to get those drag radials on. Then I'll be able to launch it even harder. I did to more passes, 10.9 and 11.1. All at 133. I'll post the video as soon as I can this weekend. After checking the pbox data, I have increased my mid range power almost 10%. Mike Bailey made a graph for me that I will post with the video.
Please clarify if your car is a Tippy, this is significant info for any
performance data,
thanks
