Great Lakes Dragaway Sunday November 3rd

[DJE624]

Weather is looking good for Sunday.  Cool with a breeze from the South. Boosted13 and I will be there!  Anybody else?

 

[DJE624]

Looking good for a 12 second time tomorrow!

 

[SHOdded]

Good luck out there, Dave, Boosted13!

 

[DJE624]

Fordman77 and his brother should be there too!  The last I heard, Boosted is bringing is GT 500. 

I'll be shooting for 10 o'clock.

 

[EcoBrick Bob]

Good luck Dave!  If this doesn't get you in the 12's you need to make a trip down to Bradenton in January!!!

 

[DJE624]

Had a great time with Boosted13 and meeting Fordman77 and his brother!  It was a great day to race.  Unfortunately, I was held to a best of 13.006 @  105.95  Might have to try it again in a couple weeks.  I did get a new top speed too!  13.008 @ 108.55

 

[SHOdded]

Arrrh, by the hair of my chinny chin chin, Davey!  Ever so tantalizingly close.  I have a feeling the next time, you will easily shoot into the 12's!

 

[DJE624]

Yeah, it was kind of a bummer.  But, I did get a new best time and mph.  Just a little cooler and dryer should get it.  Gotta keep my eye out for some favorable winds too!  Anyway, it's close enough for me to call it 13 seconds flat!

 

[EcoBrick Bob]

I know how you feel... I sat in that same range for it seemed like months, until I finally broke into the 12's.  Then at Bradenton, I had 3 of 4 runs in the 12's when it was 70 deg out. Of course, the front DR's helped my Bradenton starts!

 

[Needmoreboost]

Dam Dave, you deserve that 12 finally.  What was the air temp today?

 

[mjhpadi]

And don't forget, if you remove the spare and have almost an empty tank, you should be in the 12's...rooting for you Dave!

 

[DJE624]

Yeah, I left the spare at home and had about 50 miles left. The temps were hovering around 50-53 degrees.  We have had rain the past few days so it was pretty humid.

 

[Boosted13]

Good times today. Thought I could will you into the 12's but I guess not... LOL... Had a new best in the Flex 13.37. There's still more racing left...

13.DOH!!! ARGH!! LOL...

Bravo Dave  :clap2:

You're get'n there.

Little by little my friend.  :scooter:

 

[DJE624]

Thanks Mike.  I really think I need to let the engine cool down more too.

And.. take out the rear seat... the passenger seat... head liner..... part of the console...most of the dash(?) .... and if you can figure it out... hook up a remote driver!!!!

Sorry Dave... just couldn't stay silent!!!! LOL

 

[DJE624]

LOL Bob!  Taking out the back seat did cross my mind.  ;D I probably could use a lighter driver!

 

[steve142857]

Dave!!!!!!! So close to the 12's... In golf, I'd give you a gimme lol!
Do you realize that .006 sec is 6 lbs. That means less than one gallon of gas or a few less beers this summer hahaha!
Good luck next time and make sure you put all the chances on your side next time. You need the 12's this year understood?
Cheers!

 

[DJE624]

Yes sir!  I need to get out and get some exercise. I should have been the last few of months but been having trouble getting motivated.

 

[DJE624]

Saturday may be good!  They're calling for a high of 49, mostly sunny and a south wind at 10 MPH.  Got my fingers crossed.
