Default New PB at WSID

Just got back from WSID with a couple more PB's tonight.
Two passes were quicker than last weeks PB.

I did a 12.945@106.66 1.973 60' and a
..........12.918@106.82 1.978 60'. (New PB).

The air temp for these runs was 20 deg C and humidity 53.

Was good to have the support of Rich (Hot460) and Craig (PhantomXR8), thanks guys. That Coupe of yours Rich, sure is an attention grabber and the 10.6's aren't too shabby either.

I was pleased to meet Nugget378 for the first time. Very nice and quick car you have there.

Thanks again Chris for making my ute what it is.

Sorry Jeff,
I met so many admin/mods at the last forum meet that an old bloke like me gets confused. You can ban me for an hour or so if you like, as I have some work to do. LoL.

P.S. Apologies to Russell as well if he needs it.

I will come and watch the coupe if you go, but I might give it a rest and wait for the cooler weather. It only got down to a minimum of 19 at the end of the night on Wed. (On my slips)

Sounds like cr@p to me Rich, LoL. If Wade was here he would say that Wed is going to be 23 according to BOM. Besides I need a couple more weeks to raise the money for the juice.
You can still take the Coupe as a few degrees doesn't make that much difference with all that grunt and I can walk there to watch you. : :
