Well, we took the wifes car out to the track this weekend to see what it would do. The wife made me a bet that she could turn a quicker time than I. The bet was on. I am happy?? to say that she won. She ran a 10.66 @ 127mph with a 1.4 60. My best was a 10.78 with a 1.6 60. I only drove it once, she made 7 runs and got quicker on every run. I guess she hasn't lost her touch. She used to drive our old stock eliminator car about half the time when we class raced. My chassis guy told us it was pretty much dialed in when we got the car back from him and boy he wasn't kidding. What a great time this weekend. Hooray, our baby finally runs.

Cool deal!
Tell us about the car?

Details!

I'll bet if you get another try you'll do fine as there's at least a tenth in the 60 foot times alone, and that'd get you into the high 10.50's I think.
