<< Decent weather conditions on Saturday for drag racing, sunny, 78 degrees,
 humidity high at 80% (not so good). First run I went 14.596 @ 92.40, second
 run was 14.573 @ 91.64, third run spun a little off the line and ran 14.675
 @ 90.90. my last run wasn't until 9:30 pm, first round elimination's, by
 then it was 65, and humidity was even higher, I lined up against '99 S-10
 RC, slammed to the ground 4cyl. He dialed in at 18.80, and I had a 14.55 on
 the window :), He takes off and I wait over 4 seconds before I get a
 green,by then he's way the hell down there! well I left at .490 RED !!! But
 I caught and passed his ass at the line. hee heeeee!!! I ran 14.696 @
 90.54. Short times for the day were, 1.962, 1.962, 1.984, and 1.926. I'm
 up to 74 passes down the 1/4 mile since last October, the average of the top
 20 ET's is now 14.65 .
 
 Also, after Steven recommended I shim my traction bars to get them closer to
 the spring, I did before I went to the track. The snubber is now about 1/2"
 from touching. I could feel the difference on the street after doing this,
 you can feel the front of the truck lift under hard shifts, more so than
 before!
 Should have done this to begin with! Thanks Steven!
 
 
Good times Matt considering how hot it was. I ran at Cecil on Friday night.
Ran a bunch of 13.50's with crappy 2.1 sixty foots. On the plus side, it ran
consistantly 104 MPH on each pass. I hit thr rev limiter in 4th right after
the traps. I gotta get some slicks.
