glad everything cooled down…i think. :lol Oh and Arod, just to clear something up…the 13.8 @ 102mph was no spray and no slicks man…It had more in it as the trap shows. I will be back there in a couple weeks on slicks, tuned, 100 shot and see what it can do. My spray run this year was 13.0 @ 110mph so 110mph is def deep 12’s potential. and Dan, get your shit done!!! :lol ---
