JL ran a 12.2@117mph on street tires full weight!

Johnny Lightning was testing the new Diablo Chip tonight and ran a 12.2@117 at full weight w/ fiberglass tonneau cover and stock F1 Street Tires.


I was testing my new long tubes and ran a 12.4@112 w/ a 2.0 60' and street chip. The track conditions were horrible. I usually get at least a 1.7 and normally a 1.6x 60'.

i'm sure JL is running some of his big pulleys and power cooler and a few other things for a trap speed that high. those are nitrous speeds (at full weight)

Cool

That run was impressive... Johnny was telling me that he "was going to go easy on it" while we were in the staging lanes... This race season in going to be very interesting

Has anyone that was there last night ever seen Cecil that crowded?? It was crazy... Had to basically drive through a sea of people just to get to the starting line...
