Don,

For all of these years I have held nothing back and told everyone of our EXACT combinations right down to HP, AFR, RPM, tire slip and more..these is two things I will hold close to the vest however..I will say we did share some tire temp info with the SCTA.

 :-D  Could it have anything to do with the diet you went on?  Packin less weight equals more speed?  (Just given ya a hard time Johnny!)       Crow.

He had to loose weight, they don't allow spandex in the joints of his leathers.

I did "lose" some weight, my leathers are not "loose" on me.. :cheers:

Spandex....no more like diapers when running at Mirage that fast.. :-o

Glen did you see either of the runs from the start or mid track?  If so please tell us what you saw..

It was great to see you there and also Cris and Ed too.

I saw the first run from the start area and you were all over the place, No traction, I would have pussed out before 2nd gear.

John, I saw both runs and it was loose up to mid track and looked better to the end. Strong runs. Give Michelle a hug for me and it's about time you put a ring on her.

Thanks for the info Glen, some people can't believe we were able to go that fast twice on that course..

Yes Michelle is very deserving of that ring.. :wink:

Thanks for the info..
