    First Wednesday night drags yesterday. Here is a link to the local news video. You can see my car with the hood up in the back during part of the interview:

    Great weather, nice turnout, great traction (until it dropped 10* almost instantly when the sun went down). It started at about 200' DA and dropped to -370' quickly.

    I tried a new tune from Force Fed Performance and did a best of [email protected]. I had run a best of 12.01@113 a couple weeks earlier in Sacramento with the same DA. The Force Fed tune had too much timing and I was pulling up to 9.5 KR even with a mix of 91/100 octane gas.

    There were 2 Jeep SRT8s, 3 Charger SRT8s (including mine), a custom teal green Charger RT and a 300 running. Most everyone was close to stock so nobody else got into the 12s. I had a few people ask me if I was supercharged :)

    I don't consider myself that knowledgeable but I was helping everyone with their predators, launch, etc. Kind of good for the ego having everyone look up to you as an "expert."

    No real standout cars there. They were giving out free NOS energy drinks. Wish I saw that before I spent $4 on a coke out of a machine there.

    I'll be there almost every Wednesday night for the next couple months if anyone else wants to join me.
