Good day....bad day.....

The track was PACKED... Jr drags and everyone and his brother getting ready for tomorrows race....about 1hour 15 mins between runs. I got two runs and someone blew oil all over the track...took 3 hours to clean up.

First run....didnt get the DR warmed up enough...spun A LOT on launch and ran a 12.82 @ 113.1mph with 60' = 2.28, DA= neg 653'. What a waste of DA.

Run two... good burnout with hop at end...launch is GREAT, no spin...best run...12.07 @ 114.89mph with 60' = 1.79, DA= neg362'. Whooo hooooo!

Run three after 3 hours...good burnout and launch is Great again.. ran 12.19 @ 114.32mph with 60'=1.86, DA= 328'... felt something funny about 2/3 through the run...like a shift but wasnt...

Run four .... good burnout and launch...ran 12.31 @ 112.38mph with 60'=1.88, DA= 344'..

I had been checking my fan belt after run 1 & 2 and because I was looking to see if the longer belt(115.3) was going to slip. It looked fine. I checked it again after the big change on run 4 and I had belt slip. Looks like it was pretty good slipping too. That may be the funny thing I felt in run 3.

All in all a pretty good day. I didnt hit the 11's but we wasted most of the good air sitting around. My last two runs were at 4:42pm and 5:39pm at 63 degrees. It was in the 40's and 50's earlier. The DR's work great now that I know how to heat them up right. I was running 92 octane pump gas. I need to get a wrap kit and some 100/104 racing gas for the next time. I am sure I can break in the 11's with this setup now... more practice...
