Default Went To The Track

well I went to the track tonight for my first time every (1/8 mile). My first two runs i missed second gear and those times were 11.6 and 11.9. Well after I got my **** together and ran about an hour later I pulled a 10.7, 10.58 and a 11.0. The only mod I have right now is a UD pulley. It was pretty fun. I beat a eclipse GST w/ my 10.58 time.

cool man. nice time. would be good for probably around mid to high 16's. I ran 10.778 in the 1/8 mile all the way up here in the high altitude of Colorado. Unfortunatly it was during a bracket race and I was trying not to brake out so I ended up running a 17.450 on the brakes with a 61mph trap speed...DISAPOINTMENT!!!! Oh yeah and that 5.0 that I was racin had a 1/8 mile of 10.115 and a 60' of 2.484 to my 60' of 2.379
