Joking aside, great work Dave getting the results you did with what you had and kudos to all those that helped you get there.

I think I have broken enough components for the both of us so you are have a great run without breaking things lol.The is a great time in your climate with the setup of the car, having done many runs myself, you know in your gut if the car has anything left in it. Do you think it was close to the best run you can do with the car in the current trim?Congrats once again,Dean←,thanks!I beleive the car as I ran it on sat, has a 10.8 - 10.75 in it.that would take a 1.55 60ft, which is realy on the edge, of the c/v's.a bit cooler weather would drop it more, but that is not going to happen up here for a while,maybe I should have had another go as it cooled off, but I felt that,I had got there without breaking anything, so I whimped out, it would not have sound as good if I had broke a c/v, in the next round.

F6 UTE - Track Bound EVO III - Member 3,367 Member For: 20y 4m 27d Gender: Male Location: Strapped in and holding on Posted 03/10/06 08:54 AM Share Posted 03/10/06 08:54 AM How did your Gtech times compare with the actual you ran. My pda is exact on ET, and got me excited in testing before I went to the track, which backed it up. You must have known you were going to go close??

The car rolled over the line still at 11.7 but only at 112mph (down 12mph) Has a 10 second pass it it for sure, just like your beast has done!Rob...
