    While I have dozens of runs down the 1320 under my belt I have never ran with DRs...Wow!..what a rush coming off the line. ..and the lower diameter caught me by surprise due to shifting earlier....(M&H 390/40/17 vs Stock 305/40/22)

    The timeslip was so light I could barely read it... ..had to put on my reading glasses..couldnt get it to scan so I do not have a copy to post so you will have to take my word..though I do have 2 SRTCONNECTION forum members as witnesses...

    The track was packed tonight...I got there an hour before the races started and still sat in line for 45 minutes........I only had an hour and a half so I only got one run...I just talked to the guy (member here and owner of my former SRT8)..who was behind me and got back in line..he sat for 2.5 hrs before he got his 2nd run...

    Weather was great...mid 60s. low humidity and clear....elevation 1500.


    Here are the stats...

    R/T .217...........slow as heck for me but it didnt count anyway..
    60' 1.729........I am very happy since this is my first with DRs..
    1/8 7.860
    MPH 87.93
    1/4 12.184.....Dang, 11s were so close but I am happy..
    MPH 115.89


    The 11s club is now within my reach...just a little shift RPM work and maybe a 1.6XX 60' and....:shifty:

    Very happy with the results...wish I could have got more runs tonite..this was the season finale at Bristol......the member here (forgot his forum name) that bought my Charger SRT8 did a 12.99....Magna catbacks, CAI and Predator Tuner are his only mods....good times for Bristol..most stock 8s run high 13s here..

    Damn Larry, you cut one hell of a 60'. For a 6 speed, that is great.

    Very nice run buddy, Congrats.

    Thanks Ron...usually the track prep at Bristol is almost nonexistent when they have the street car races...but somebody said they prepped the track heavy because of some special races with prizes last night..this might have helped though I have seen several other SRT10 owners cut 1.7s with DRs..
