    Me and 39 others had Va Motor Sports Track to our selves today for the 1/4 mile.The track is NHRA sanctioned and preped pretty well. Was a little cold and had a 25 to 30 mph headwind all day.My best time of the day was a 11.93 @ 116.3 with a 1.74 60ft time.I still had a little spin off the line and hitting 2nd.I was using the Ron approved DRs method 18" cobra rims with 305 45 nittos.I ran a handfull of 12.00s with a little worse 60ft.So a little work is needed in the 60ft area and some tweeking air pressure to get my mid 11 pass.I believe im close,so just another reason to go to the track:rock:

    sweet times there bro! Nice runs, My best with my 392 was a 12.7 but I had no top end, my 60's were 1.7's so with that top end I see the 11's coming. :thumb2:
