Pinks All Out & Akron Don

[Donald Gallimore <dongallimore@xxxxxxx>]

Ran Pinks All Out at Summit Raceway Park (Norwalk) last weekend.  This is my 
final qualifying run on Rich's arm drop.  Guy in the other lane was a little 
wired as he jumped the drop.  Made us both back up and restage so that they 
could restart the R/T clocks. I beat him off the line by .300 and then out ET'd 
him by a mere .012 seconds.  My run was a best ever 12.265 @ 109.94.  60 foot at 
1.70.  Very happy with my performance. Here's my run:

After looking at the run, I appreciate any comments and suggestions on where to 
go to get that last .25 seconds so I can have a sub 12 second street car.  No 
NOS!  


One thing I find intreging is that they tell you to set the pinion snubber at 
1/2 inch off the floor for an automatic but this thing obviously in preloaded 
before it leaves the line. I'm hold the RPMs at 1500 on the line.  Also, notice 
the two different rises on the back of the car on the two staging attempts.  

Thanks.
