Had a great time at LVD today.
Met Mikesduster, talked to Walt, and before I even got off my road this morning, I met 8secdart. I didn't know he only lived a few miles from me.
My day started out good and got progressivly better.Started with a new best, and got better from there.
First run with this engine, and it's been a year since I've driven the car.
First run ran a 12.06 @ 111mph
Car was loading and unloading the tires for the first 60' give or take.
Blew the alt. water pump off at the end of the track.
Put the belt back on, got her cooled off tweaked the rear shocks, and went at it again.
Second run, 11.84 @ 113, Hee Haw, were cooking now. Literally. Blew the belt off again.
First round of eliminations. Car hooked real good and I knew it was going to run better than my dial in.
Watched the mirror and saw where the other car was and I took my foot off the throttle, and then back in. I had to burn some of the time off.
I should have just tapped the brake.
I lost but the car ran an 11.83 @ 109 Blew the belt off AgAiN
My 1/8th mile time was .10 quicker than the 10.84 run.
I had a Great Day.
