I was hoping to get into the 12's as I had 3 times last year and I did on the first 3 passes including a new best on the first run at Great Lakes Dragaway. GLD is the oldest continually operating strip in the U.S. in Union Grove Wis.
After the first 3 runs, I started experimenting with launches and shifting and the times went downhill from there. 12.834@109.48 with a DA of 1523 equates to 12.614@111.38 according to the DragTimes calculator. Also got 23MPG on the 140 mi. round trip. I'm proud of the car. Not bad for a 350 LongTubeRunner with 3.08's. Ah, spring and the smell of burning rubber in the air. Wednesday is ladies night, an added bonus. Attach file:  P1010003.JPG (140.69 KB) P1010008.JPG (137.21 KB) P1010009.JPG (143.03 KB) |

Well done, Joe. Your times have always impressed me with the mods you have done to the car.
Any plans on hitting Route 66? I have the schedule for the test and tune nights and I'd like to make it out there. Matthew |

Thanks, I was planning to only flog the car once at the strip this spring. I want it in tip-top shape for a planned Western states trip this summer but you never know.

Those are great times.
