Had a Blast! First of all a huge THANKS to Rick (Phxpoolguy) and Liz, best hosts ever! That Liz is a super pitcrew all by herself, turning wrenches , changing tires.....wow! Truck got about 15 mpg on the trip at between 75 and 80mph all the way (480 miles one way). Tried the new M&H Cheater slicks, Thanks John at M&H! New 60' record for me @ 1.6077. I had 4 races but none were close, but one was a Lightning....so a nice kill. Here are my runs in order:

Run 1: DA 1657, 60' 1.6077, 1/8th 7.5054 @ 93.44, 1/4 mile 11.7947 @ 116.28 mph (Had a .0002 RT on this pass....LUCK)

Run 2: DA 1796, 60' 1.6516, 1/8th (no time), 1/4 mile 11.7366 @ 115.74 mph.( NEW PERSONNAL BEST):rock::rock:

Run 3: DA 2201, 60' 1.6420, 1/8th 7.5517 @ 90.25, 1/4 mile 11.8458 @ 115.15 mph. This run was against the Lightning @ 13.6737 @ 104.43 mph and he redlighted. But in all fairness he was on street tires and full weight, says he has run 12.3 before. Still a good kill, Brad got it on video.

Run 4: DA 2521, 60' 1.6209, 1/8th 7.5347 @ 93.48, 1/4 mile 11.8327 @ 114.74 mph......This is my best CORRECTED pass ever.....corrected time = 11.48 @ 118.342


As you can see the air went away as the day progressed, my speeds slowed each time. There was a headwind all day , but it got much stronger in the afternoon. My runs were at 11:43am, 12:43pm, 1:56pm and 3:39pm respectively. Brad will be posting some great Video, I saw a sample at the track, 2 cameras working. Special thanks to SRTBrad and Justin (rare03SRT10), those guys were super.
Had a blast working on Rick's truck, going to Outback for dinner....good stories and great company, can't wait till Dom rents Famoso so we can do this again.

Congratulations Jerry. You should post a picture of your log book. The amount of information you are able to record and decipher is very impressive.

I already pulled tailshaft to tranny and I'm going to driveshaft shop to try another diameter to get rid of that vibration, keep me updated on the Cali deals we talked about guys. I'm glad you guys had a great time, we'll meet again at Famoso soon.
 
Nice going Jerry. Now I just need to get me some slicks. Hopefully this will stop my spinning issue.
