Finally we got a little break in the weather! It was a little cooler at 78 but the humidity was down a lot from what it has been the past month. Still not a perfect pass, I felt the tires turn over just a teensy bit on the launch but the rest of the run was solid. This is from Dunn Tire Raceway in Lancaster, NY, which is typically a tenth slower than other tracks due to a few imperfections (it's slightly uphill in some spots, lol).

As soon as I hit some solid 7.05's I will head to Empire Dragway about 75 miles away and get my 10, still on the stock shortblock!

I've got a new tranny/converter sitting here too! The tranny has a lower first gear (2.75 vs a 2.54 current) and it has a brake. The converter is the same stall speed, but more efficient up top, so lets hope it gets me a tenth or 2!
