New best MPH...

Had a chance to go to the local track Saturday. Weather was in the 60's, so it wasn't as good as Norwalk was last week.
I was still able to make a total of 4,12.5 passes. The best part
being that all 4 were at or near 112.5 MPH..
Best ever was last week at Norwalk when I went 12.4 at 109.5..
Were happy now.
Weather looking possible for Sunday November 17 at Norwalk.
Any Ohio or Michigan guys interested?

Yes, I was at 42. Unbelievably the track was in pretty good shape.
Managed a .500 light in the first round of eliminations in the Gamblers race, but wasted it on a 15.00 second Chevy. The look on his face when I went by him at the 1/8th mile was worth it though. I was off the throttle and on the brakes and still went through the traps at 12.7 but only 90 mph.
Sure you can't make Norwalk?

Unhappy

Nope, I can't do Norwalk....took the Insurance off the L for the winter, and already put it into storage along with the stang, and besides, the guy I borrowed the trailer off of is using it this weeked. I "could" bring the out old cougar and blast off some blazing 20 sec passes but I wouldn't want to show you up I know what you mean about running someone down. While in Columbus with the stang I ran down a station wagon running 19secs.Having to sit at the line for almost 6 secs REALLY REALLY SUCKS!!!!!! but blowing past them near the end is all worth it!! good luck on Sun if you go.
