My goal with the car was to be the fastest with the least mods and to hit 11.99 this year. I spent a lot of time fine tuning the car all summer and it payed off. Since I live over 250 miles from the nearest track and typically only make it to the track 2 or 3 times a year at the most that was quite a task but I did it!
The car made the 500+ mile round trip without a hitch
The track prep was amazing, I was launching harder and harder on each run and the car was doing better and better each time. I have no doubt I could have ran a little quicker with one more run but it was getting late and I had to make the 250+ mile drive home so I called it a day.
Enough talk, here are the videos and timeslips to back up all the chit chat lol. Double click the videos to watch in HD if you would like.

My first run, the car was pretty hot but I wanted to get a base run. This was a launch at 1200rpms or so to test the track prep:

My 2nd run, the car had some time to cool off and I launched at 1500rpm to test the track prep again:
