Thanks! Yes, I am a total noob at this. In my first run I made the acquaintance of the rev limiter - time was too embarrassing to post!

You're right. I did have a photo of the run on the ticket but it was dark by then and it wasn't a very good pic. I was actually up with a super-sweet, blown early-70s Plymouth. I think the TA in the photo was doing low 13s.

There is nothing like standing up on the line behind two Top Fuelers as they go down the track.
Yes! My husband didn't have as goood a night - he's very ticked at his car, so it'll be him I have to work to get to go back.

Thanks, yes it was a great time! I was shifting around 6500rpm. That's also something I'll need to experiment with.
