GS NATIONALS 2010 - Bowling Green, KY

[GNregistry]

My BEST ET 12.396 @ 108 mph

Street Tires KUMHO ECSTA AST 245/50/16
NO ALKY, SKIP BURNOUT BOX... launch with 4 PSI BOOST
Best 60': 1.806 & 1.81
Best 1/4 mile: 12.396 @ 108.95 mph
Best MPH: 109.95

I went from 12.49 to 12.39, simply removing my FLOOR MAT

it was best feeling for me to break 12.50
Thanks to Jim Carswell and Bob Hinson

TSA & TSE are 2 classes to watch this year

Trunk has stuff in it, but I'm thinking it gives me traction where otherwise I'd be spinning, tried to launch at 5 pounds of boost, could have had wet tires that broke...

somewhere btn 20-24 pounds of boost plus Sunoco 110 octane, should be around 100-103 octane

Also, removed a part to see if we can go faster or quicker

Friday and Saturday will be AWESOME....

Friends like family and all BUICK is sweeeet....

IF YOUR NOT HERE - YOU SHOULD BE...

Regards
Brett Wallace

I live here in BG. We had the Goodguys meet last week end at Beech Bend. The air was fat and the track was biting extremely well. See ya'll there.

My Dad was there with his RV & '56 T-Bird, he's already back:frown: Oh what I would have given to drive out there to meet him this weekend! One of these years I will make it, it's roughly 1200 miles away.

Lets see some more pix for those of us that couldn't make it!
