I went to Atco last night....
The DA was +2,000. A perfect time for a not so good DA 11 second run!
And for starters I was smoking:
Run #1: 12.037@118.65 with a 1.861 60'
Run #2: 12.038@119.18 with a 1.929 60'
How's that for consistency? Sigh. Run #1 had good 60' with sloppy shifting. Run #2 was a lousy 60' with spot on shifting. If I could put the best of those 2 runs together, 11s easy, maybe even a high 11.8.
So the DA dropped a little to +1,800. For my third run I was poised to run a Challenger Scat Pack auto with DRs. I knew it would be a close run.
But it was not to be. I really messed up the run. I red-lighted, blew the launch, and missed third.
I did beat him with the red light and his nap at the line. But it was a hollow victory. I ran 12.447@114.19 with a 1.997 60' to his 12.162@114.63 with a 1.762 60' on a -.187 red light.
On another note there was a new Jeep TrackHawk with the Hellcat motor in the T&T lanes. It had tags from the Midwest and I think the guy said he was associated with Motor Trend(?). He was running 12.0s too! I so wish we could have run together so perhaps I could paint a TrackHawk kill on my front fender. It was not to be. Maybe he will come back on Friday.Or maybe I scared him off.
Here it is in the metal, the Jeep Trackhawk (Hellcat). Starting price of $85,900 [plus $1,095 destination],+ many options.
