So my last few ventures to the track have been a bit of a cluster F$#K to say the least. I was at Milan with a bunch of the guys from the forum a few weeks ago and I had a massive boost leak, which was horrible. I only ran a couple times and then shut it down. Got to meet a few of the guys though so that was cool.
Then, the following day I fixed the boost leak and tried to meet up with a couple other guys like s4matty, jspazz & Alessandro. Well, we drove all the way there just to find out they closed. After a quick re fill up, Alessandro and I rushed to St.Thomas dragway to get in a few passes. I was able to get in about 4 passes that day.
I was able to run (3) - 11.7’s and (1) 11.8. (See two of the 4 slips below) Best run being 11.74@118.46 w/ 1.71 60ft. I wasnt 100% sure on DA, but I think it was around 400 plus/minus (I will confirm) These runs I used VP 109

Fast-forward to Yesterday. DA was awesome, about -80. But track prep was another story. Not horrible, but not great also. Sparta (St.Thomas Dragway) only likes to prep one lane, and leaves the other lane in rough shape. They don’t let you run in the prep lane unless you have slicks or you complain and justify. If they do let you run in the prep lane with street tire, they make you do a little burst to clean them off. The rough lane had guys in trucks with big dirty mudders.
I was trying some new gas. Sunoco 260GT plus
I was able to pull off (2) 11.6’s one in the crappy lane before all the trucks came and it went to sh#t and one in the prep lane after complaining and being 2 sec. quicker than guys with slicks.

Best run of the day. 11.65@119.30 mph w/ 1.68 60ft.

Best 60ft to date was a 1.61 @ Milan.
Overall I was searching for a 11.5 but I am more than happy to be in the 11.6 category. I was kinda pushing for Jones to get into the 11.4s but he still have a decent shot with the 11.56 considering hot lapping was a bit difficult. Until next year!
