Alright, I'll pitch in.

I went racing tonight at PBIR and had pretty good time. The heat and humidity kept most people at home. There were maybe 50 cars max and the staging lanes were virtually empty for the first 2 1/2 hours. I got in 9 runs and only took about 2 hours to do that.

There was only 1 other 5th Gen out there and he was stock running high 13's. I raced a 2010 Shelby and beat him 2-0. He said it was stock and that he had just gotten the car. His best was 13.1. I ran a few R/T's and an SRT Jeep that ran 12.45. The Jeep was driven by a 77 year old man. Awesome. I hope I'm still racin' at that age.

My best of the night was an 11.87. I'm pretty happy with that considering my best is only .2 better, and that was run during winter and in much better air. The car kinda felt like it was stumbling in the top of 3rd gear. Maybe a belt slip? No change in sound but it definately fell off. Other than logging, is there anyway to know if it is a belt?

All in all it was a good night at the track. No body broke, oiled down the track or got injured.
