Wow 12.1 with a 392CI, nice driving.
I am hoping for mid to high 12's first time out. Hopefully I'll have better luck with the halfshaft. Not sure if I will have a chance at 11's, but I'd trade a halfshaft for it one time! I have Goodyear Eagle F1's and I can't get the launch down yet and still miss 3rd sometimes, I just got the car last fall and didn't have much time in it before it got too cold and those tires do not hook up at all when cold. Looking forward to it.

I had broken a halfshaft two years in a row. I think maybe that darn sliping clutch made me drive the car harder than it was intended for! This year I think that I will baby it down the track. I don't have the need or urge or desire to break into the11's club. But then a trophy would be kind of cool to have!  |
