First pass was a 12.34 @ 104.3 and a 60' of 1.85.
Second pass was 12.27 @ 111.4 and 60' of 1.81.
Third pass was 12.35 @ 111.34 and 60' of 1.86.
Fourth pass was 12.65 @ 111.49 and 60' of 2.1.

I hooked up pretty good on the first two passes, spun a little on the third and spun a LOT on the fourth. I probably didnt get the tires heated up good enough for number 3 and 4. They really felt greasey getting off the line. Not a bad night, but I was planning on a lot better. I guess I need a lot of practice to get my RT down good and get my tires to hook up better. PIR is a decent track, but not as good as Woodburn.

edit: previous best was 12.5 @ 112.6mph
I know the feeling of good is never good enough, but those are some times to be proud of esp. with our little old six cylinder! I have a guy that works for me that has a camaro with engine swap, tune, the whole nine and can't bust 12.50!
