Fordman77 and his brother should be there too!  The last I heard, Boosted is bringing is GT 500. 

I'll be shooting for 10 o'clock.

Good luck Dave!  If this doesn't get you in the 12's you need to make a trip down to Bradenton in January!!!

Had a great time with Boosted13 and meeting Fordman77 and his brother!  It was a great day to race.  Unfortunately, I was held to a best of 13.006 @  105.95  Might have to try it again in a couple weeks.  I did get a new top speed too!  13.008 @ 108.55

Arrrh, by the hair of my chinny chin chin, Davey!  Ever so tantalizingly close.  I have a feeling the next time, you will easily shoot into the 12's!

Yeah, it was kind of a bummer.  But, I did get a new best time and mph.  Just a little cooler and dryer should get it.  Gotta keep my eye out for some favorable winds too!  Anyway, it's close enough for me to call it 13 seconds flat!

I know how you feel... I sat in that same range for it seemed like months, until I finally broke into the 12's.  Then at Bradenton, I had 3 of 4 runs in the 12's when it was 70 deg out. Of course, the front DR's helped my Bradenton starts!

And don't forget, if you remove the spare and have almost an empty tank, you should be in the 12's...rooting for you Dave!

Yeah, I left the spare at home and had about 50 miles left. The temps were hovering around 50-53 degrees.  We have had rain the past few days so it was pretty humid.

Thanks Mike.  I really think I need to let the engine cool down more too.
