I'll have to look up the names, but 3 or 4 more come to mind, i know Zeus
has. Tyes, we drove 2.5 hours toget rained out. pissed? oh yes!!!! BUT,
the icket is good for a month so hopefull 2 weeks from now. Did run once,
but spun through first and got a whopping 2.4 60 ft, thenstupid me let off
efore the end DOH!!!!!! She felt strong as hell though!!! Oh, even doing
that I pout a whipping on one of those new Ranger Edges with the SOHC 4.0 V6
hehe. 2 weeks and counting :) oh we wnent to Clay City this time, they
seemed like an overall better place to be honest, much more organized, and
even with th impending rain Id say there were double the runners that london
ad on the best day i was there. Oh a bit off-topic, but kind of neat, as
anyone seen those eagle Eyes sunglasses on TV? Well, i'm colorblind and
have always needed someone to send me off either by flagging me or over a
radio, not any more, my brother got a set f those and I'll be damned that
they are amazing. could see the staging lights and all the launching
lights. I was different to say the least and I may be able to get some
decent reaction times now, no one can uderstand how something that simple
and mostly silly an me so happy, but anyways, 2 weeks! I can't wait,
after the first run getting to knowwhere the quarter ends and a feel for the
track, i was ready to go! Argh, next time.

So Brian/Ryan,
Besides Charles Smith and Mike Catlin, who else has a 13 second n/a R/T?
I'm just curious, 'cause I can't think of any...

Spin the tires at 49 mph?
WOW, that sounds like it WILL hit 13's!
Speaking of 13's, did it rain out the track? Were y'all going to London
or another one?

I anxious to see some video of your 13 second runs.

Alan S.
