I counted my slips this morning and I had 35 slips. Out of the 35 runs I had 9 yellow (YOU LOSE), not to bad. As bikecop said, the SRT 6's ran in the mid 12's all day. I'm not sure yet, but I think our SRT6's pretty well took all the C32's. I think we all probably had some heat issue's from run after run after run (car thermomerter was showing low 80's), with no cool down time's. With HE temp gauge I have in my car, I could pretty well tell you what I was going to run. Once the HE coolant temp got up into high 120"s or well into the 130's I knew I was not going to do much better than a 12.7 or 12.8. I still need to go through all my slip's to see what my best was and I'm going to try to match up the car #'s from the list on the MB World just to make sure my statement about the SRT's ran better than the C32's, I don't want to make a false statement. I won't have time to do this today, we are getting ready for my granddaughter's 3rd birthday party. It was great meeting Eric, Gary, Kirk and all the MB guy's. And for my first time at a strip, walking away with a trophy & some free dyno runs (from CPT) for the fastest R/T was just great.
BTW, any body that followed the thread about the fan's I installed on my OEM HE. If we would have been bracket racing and had between 10 & 20 minute's between runs I think they would have worked great.

bikecop mentioned the left lane had a problem, I have a slip w/5.76 in the 1/8th & 10.30 in the 1/4 .

BIG Thanks to ChicagoX, LET & CTP for putting on the event.
