I thought i'd post a side view of my car, sittin in the lanes

It wasnt extremely fast, but ran 11.54 and 11.53 in qualifying, at 114.76... Went out 1st round, with a -.001 red. Rick Winchester was in the other lane, in an H/SA Camaro, and was dialed about a tenth faster than i was...if i woulda went green, .020-.030, it woulda been a fun race... All in all, i had a great learning experience, met some great people, and finally got to run an NHRA event(1st ever). Lookin forward to Indy in October!
Almost forgot, ended up pulling weight out of the car, and ran E/SA, because, even with the added weight, i was 60lb light, for F... Last time i weighed the car at Norwalk, it weighed 3550, with me... before the 80lb added weight...Apparently, they had a temp calibrate the scales...(this was at an all Pontiac event).
