Default B/C hairdressers go fast too

Jakie and I at Texas Motorplex playing on the 1/4 mile. On this pass I ran a 12.095 @125mph. With more practice there's a bit left to be found. It was my 3rd run ever. Had a great time.

The online calculator predicted 10.5 at 125. But the one I used didn't take anything but weight and HP into account. It'd take a lot more traction and a much better driver to get into the 10's. I'll be happy to see mid 11's and think that's a reasonable goal. It's a two hour drive though so if I get down there once more in the car this year I'll be surprised. We are planning to go back in August to run the Jeeps. ...just for laughs (built rock crawlers).
