I just got back from the track and I ran a 12.255 with a trap of 112.91. When I ran a 12.5, I had a trap of 113, what gives? 3/10ths faster and I runner a slower trap? I think that I can do better. I had a 2.0 60ft and I had a full take of gas. I was running BG Goodrich 275 drag radials.

Next time I am going to be running slicks and I am going to run with a 1/2 a tank.

Here is the numbers on the official time slip.


I hope to be in the 11's with the slicks and less gas. I am going to put in 3 gal of race gas as well next go around.

Fingers crossed.

Great Job Stephen on the times!! Yeah your trap was so low because of the full tank of gas/weight. Hopefully the half tank will still provide traction and improve your trap, I'm sure you'll hit 114.

PM me your address and about those frost leather seats, i want to come by and put them in my car along with the mat to see how it looks.

Thanks.

Where do you all go for oil changes (outside of the dealer) that does a good job. No plan on doing a Jiffy Lube on my car but was certain there had to be a decent place to go, specifically in the East Orlando area.

Thanks

pm sent pricilla, I do my own oil, it is very easy and not worth paying someone else to do it. 5w50 castrol syntec its in black bottle, or amsoil 5w50 if your getting on it alot. It is a race oil so it is tough under pressure.

Why do you guys always have to have these specials right after I spend a lot of money on something else??? LOL (My husband has been bugging me to get one of these since he first read about it.)

Hooter's by the airport or Lk. Underhill.... . Barney's Steakhouse on Hwy 50 near downtown. Some nights they even have a piano man playing all night. Sam Seltzer's is really good too but the closest one to you is in Altamonte Springs or Maitland by RDV Sportsplex. A really really good one is Del Friscos on Lee Road. The only problem is that you'll have to park the Element next to Porsches, Mercedes, and $$ Beamers, lol

I can see the look on my mother-in-law's face if I was to tell her that we are going to Hooters for Christmas dinner! LOL


Are any of those places open on Christmas day? We're going to go to Ruth's Chris on Christmas Eve, but I have to find a place for Christmas Day.
