I tried to send this last night but it never got posted. gonna try it
again:

Just getting back from HRP tonight. Didn't see anyone from the list.
Just as
well because the place was more crowded than I have ever seen it.
Waited for
two hours to run! Only did one tonight and I finally broke into the
14's!

Better numbers all around. The starting line was pretty wet, no
avoiding the
water so I spun my wheel a little longer than usual before I staged.
Launched
around 1500 - 1600 rpms and kinda eased into the throttle. 1st gear
rubber
hooked after that. I raced a late model 1/2 ton chevy that sounded
mean....
well his bark was much worse than his nibble. He did a massive
burnout... I did
a short squeak... Up until about the 330' I thought I was going to have
some
competition, but then I just eased on ahead of him and steadily pulled
away...
gosh must have been 4 or 5 car lengths at the end... heh heh heh aint
Dakotas
great? Anyway here's the numbers:

60' 2.399

1/8 9.601 @ 75.62
1/4 14.86 @ 92.67

Paying attention to the 1/8 mile now because that's what we'll be
running at the
Houston meet in March at Sealy. By then I'll have the stage I TB from
Frank and
Bruce and we'll see what I can shave off that.

I also wieghed my truck with me and just over 1/4 tank of gass and
probably
10lbs of junk inside. 3,795lbs. I also brought my camera and got some
good
audio of the run. When I get my primary computer out of the shop I'll
post some
new sounds...

I'M IN THE 14 CLUB BABY YEAHHH! .... Ohh behaaave....
