Post 1st 1/4 mile run at Great Lakes

Well, I took a little time to get up enough nerve but here it is r/t .880 60 2.112 1/8 9.060 1/4 14.069 MPH 97.49 L is completly stock and I had a full tank of gas. It seems to hook up just fine from idle to WOT. All I can say is why did I wait so long? Drag racing is one of the most fun things you can do with your clothes on.

Just had to reply, ran at the grove in 67 now 33years later, up to it again. RT66 closer now, 1st run 60 2.035 1/4 14.065 97.35 RT time don't laugh 1.407 hey it was green. Each run after that just a little slower but R/T came down had a .680 ,that was stock. Sal's package now, 1/4 13.43 101.98 60'1.958, F1s, wish I could get that 60' time again. All runs after that a tick slower 60' 2.0something. I will be going back. I see in Sal's post I will be getting my real chip chip soon 2 or 4 positions.

My experience is that the first run of the day is quickest. Even with considerable time to cool down, times get from 13.520 to 13.530
to 13.540 etc. Onc time the evening cooled off yet the ET was slower. Interesting you found that to be the case also.
