Hey Kendall! Was great talking to you and your daughter [forgive me, I've forgotten her name! Need some sleeeeeeep...!]

Anyway, track was horrible Friday...I unloaded the car and babied the car down the track just to get it warm and went a 12.35 @ 115+...was downhill from there as the track heated up. Slickest I've *ever* been on, and I've ran in some holes in the wall...I'm talking wagging the tail at 1/8 mile mark or so! It was so bad, a big tired Vega barrell rolled down the track at the beginning of the Friday night program, and then a back-halfed original paint/vinyl top Z went across the track and hit the opposite wall head on past half track...myself, Kat, and Spetzman were standing right where it hit, and we were the first ones over the wall...Kat opened the door and the guy was acting like he couldn't breath. Guy walked away, but ruined every piece on the car, and we had to load the car with a jack and a set of go-jacks.

Anyway, the track crew worked the track a LOT better Saturday, but it still went away in a hurry...I ran a 12.11 @ 117+ right off the trailer, but was downhill from there. Went some more 12.1xs, and ran over 117 all day (high of 117.78!), but 60' times were horrendous. I thought I had a handle on the chassis last season, but now I'm just scratching my head...gonna have to get to Memphis and see where I'm at.

As always, was good to see everyone again...I'll try and post some more #s & details later...
