G,
If you're able to make it to the track Sunday but don't have a helmet you still have options:
-barrow mine;
-bum a helmet from someone else;
-run hard and then hit the brakes before the finish line.
Last, track personnel can become lax (but not typically at MIR) and not notice you're running sub 14.0 second 1/4 mile runs.
Later, B

There was a very good turnout --- over 400 cars racing.
I will post the slips later. Here are my three runs:
Run 1) Air temp =72F
ET = 13.33 at 105.mph
Run 2) Air temp = 69F
ET = 13.31 at 105.98mph
Run 3) Air temp = 65F
ET = 13.22 at 106.25mph
I did ice down the intercoolers but the lines in the staging lanes were too long to keep the car cool. It appeared that the engine coolant (not supercharger coolant) was 185 to 190 F. So the engine was not hot at all but not cool/cold either.

What is your launching technique for first gear? In wonder if full wot is too much or if another way is better.
What is a good way to ice down the intercoolers without getting water on the engine. I was thinking some trash bags might work?
