Thanks Garry. It even suprised me. It finally laid all the cards on the table on that run. I rubbed the paint off my fender wells because the slicks grew on the top end.

Thanks. It was on the stock heads with CC 918 springs and stock push rods. I was running a 200 shot on that pass. The 11.20 run the bottle ran out. I put in a fresh bottle and it made a little difference :D

Val,
I couldn't drink. I had to drive home. I wanted to. Actually, I helped my buddy with the Maverick. We put 250hp jets in his car, changed the plugs, pulled timing, and put in a fresh bottle. He made it to the line with about 5 minutes to spare. He pulled off a 10.80. BTW, were you there this weekend? I did see Roy but not the Valster.

Yep I was there but was busy with the KotH stuff. I left yesterday about 3:45pm. The SLK did really good for being totally stock and an automatic. Sorry I didn't get a chance to get down there to see you. That 10.60 says alot for what a 346ci motor will do with a few mods!! When you shipping the car home??

Thanks. The only problem with the run was that I bent my seat a little. Time to lay off the McDonalds. :lol:

Keith did well for not having a F-body :wink: Keith, you know I'm only kidding. I thought he did really well! I still want to link up and hit Road Atlanta after you get all the mods from LG done.

won the AutoX thanks to Bob's mistake. Finished 4th in the 1/4 mile, about where I thought I would. My 60' times were not that great, but my R/Ts were pretty good considering I've never seen a pro-tree before. On Saturday night, Bob, Stef & I were tied for the lead but I had some issues on Sunday and was lucky to hold on to 3rd. Bob really did his homework and was way ahead of the rest of us. I would say there's always next year, but not for me.

@ Don - impressive run ! just at the wrong time (during the brackets) but I know you did not mind to loose like this :D

@ Keith - you can always leave your car with me and come back next summer 8)

I had to enter the brackets just to get some runs in. I did make it three rounds though. After my first run I knew the bottle was empty and I also had antifreezed dripping from one of my hoses. I had to tighten it at the end of the track with a dime. It didn't help that I spent all morning changing to colder plugs and putting in bigger nitrous jets. Changing the jets is the biggest PITA.

Thanks brother. Where have you been? I sent you a PM about the Goat. I tried to get some seat time in the GTO but I spent most of my time working on my car and the Maverick.
