Found the timeslip for that run; it was the qualifying pass for Sunday's Super/Pro Eliminator. I went 9.87 on a 9.82 dial and only qualified 20th out of a field of 46. Tough competition around here; the top 4 qualifiers all ran right on their number. Not a great light(.604) but my best 60ft.(1.399) of the weekend. Also MPH was down a bit because I backed out of it instead of going under. Should have stayed in it; would have qualified a bunch better. Still, I went one round before being put out by the eventual winner of the event. The car had gone it's best ever MPH(139.83) on Saturday in less than ideal air(1900-2200ft. D/A and 85% humidity). I wonder what it will do this weekend at the other track that's near sea level?
It's hard to believe I dropped a couple of tenths and picked up a couple of MPH over last year with nothing more than a couple of carb spacers and a hood scoop.
