11.1 yesterday no gas. Well done Green Fish Boys! Fear The Fish!
Yep, it was just way too hot with poor air quality, almost everyone I spoke to was running a good bit slower than normal. I was 3 tenths and 2 mph down from my previous best, my et's were all over the place, as were my speeds even on back to back runs when it was quiet on Friday. I even had trouble with the car bogging which it has never done before. I really enjoyed the last run at 9 0'clock last night, racing at sunset is just fantastic. Jeff, didn't see Joe or the truck....

Good to meet up with everyone again, had a great weekend even though I didn't get that 11 second run I am after. Managed a 12.2 but mph was down and 60 foot times were still crap. Only person I spoke to that was running PB's was Pete Wiseman, I think he ran a 9.9 today.

Have to say though, it was a blinding weekend, the place was rammed. have never seen so many people or cars at such an event. Had a great problem free ride there and back with Jem and Philth, I love driving the Dart on the street and I seem to have far more enthusiasm for it than I had a few years ago. There were tons of other yanks and rods out and about as the supernationals and the rally of the giants was on as well. If you weren't there you really did miss something, it was probably my best Nats ever...
