EUREKA
I FOUND IT
finally decent weather,cool low humidity,and plenty of ice,Ran the following
13.003 @ 103.73
12.98 @ 103.79
12.88 @ 104.28
Things are looking better, and all the suggestions you all have rendered have helped alot
Looks like it's time to gut the thing and get real serious now!!!!!
Thanks All

Cool

12.90s in humid 85 degree air is not too shabby. All of my 12s runs about twenty or so have been done in 63-73 degree air at 700ft above sea level but without convertor,pulleys,race gas,powercoolers,ram air or having to tee off my boost or unplug anything.The first six hot lapping were done without the spare but with fiberglass cover so close to stock weight with a best of 12.929 106.8 and this year with the front sway bar and tailgate removed 12.793 108.97 and my best 60 ever is 1.84 and is usually around 1.88 or higher and all 12s were launched from idle. I wish the tracks were open when its 40 degrees,but then again i wish i was running at sea level like in florida.

Hello Jerry,

I will bring the trailer to haul the "parts" home . You are just testy, because that guy in the other lane ran 130 mph?!

Had fun today , we'll do it again when I am back

Question

Hello Jerry,

Did the item sell yesterday, and are you going after the 130 MPH guy today?

No sale as yet, guess it's a thinker,or a bebacker, you've heard of them!!!!!
About the only thing that went pretty cool was the dumb A$$ cop who tried to give me a ticket for driving the speed limit,unreal!!!!
No not going after the other guy who ran 145,if so I'm gonna be on a bare chassis,with just a seat and motor,won't be fast enough, but different!!!!!
I really enjoyed yesterday and look forward to another day of racing with you.You know if we would have stayed we would have won, so we have that going for us,right!!!!
Take Care
Have A Safe Trip
Your L Buddy
Jerry
