Left lane.... I picked the optimum time to run. Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good. It felt strong. Stock. Just wheels and tires and front seat is in. Rear seat not. Mid Michigan Motorplex. BTW the tires didn't slip on the wheels a lick.
If we can get some negative DA I'm thinking you may be able to run in the teens. Congrats on the new best!

Great run 10:33 is moving and an impressive 60' maybe a little extra gas didn't hurt. You have the mile an hour for a 10:2 not that I am suggesting anything:)

Nice pass - congrats! Way to represent.
Thank you Eric.

This is why I bought a Kestrel 5100 so I can document what it reads when I run. I have found drag times to be pretty close at 131 though. Still have 3 Saturday's left at 131. I will be at everyone the rain does not show up too. This weekend is looking 50/50
That Kestrel is a nice tool to have. Ubly, which is closer to me, has a couple of days to test this weekend and I believe that's it for the year. One time in 1989 I drove at night from 131 up to Lake City with M&H's in a steady rain all the way. It was misery. That was a life's lesson. 35 MPH at the most.

Good luck at 131.
