Ran 1/4 mile for first time---11's!!!!!!!!!

It's four in the morning and I just got back from making the long trip to the nearest quarter mile track, the first time ever with the L. It was worth it. Got to make 6 runs, worst was a 12.00, had two runs in the 11.9s and three runs in the 11.8s.
Best run was:

60 foot 1.642
1/8th 7.540 @ 91.25 mph
1/4 11.865 @ 113.20 mph


I knew from my previous 1/8th mile runs that I would most likely run in the 11s. I didn't expect how good it would feel to see it on the timeslip though . SWEET!!!!

Thanks for the kind words guys.

VINNIE,
Ya three of us drove down there and back. My buddies ran a 11.17 (Mustang) and 11.47 (Z car). I was thinking on the way back about the chances of having three 11 second cars driving in a line for a 2+ hour trip. Prett sweet.

CHIKIN1,
Still want to see your truck run. Maybe you can make it next time.

LightningTuner,
Thanks Sal. I was running your race program. Another PSP truck in the 11s.

Blown93,
I have a nitrous kit I will hopefully install this week. Also just bought a powercooler that I haven't installed. Hopefully she will stay together on the juice. Planning on a 100 shot. Skinnies are somewhere in the future too.

LIGHTNINROD,
It was at Steele, AL. Good bit of cars there, lots of F bodies. The only ones running 11s besides me and my friends were a couple of motorcycles. We got some attention being that we were all parked together.

ib fast,
I still have one of these this morning .
