I'm frustrated at your neophyte insistence that simple slicks and high(er?) boost will propel you into the tens. Ummmm....

I am always dissatisfied with anyone who claims they have a 11.xx / 10.xx / 9.xx car when they didn't produce the time card. SHOW ME THE MONEY. BIG difference between perceived capability and actual achievement. And the difference is in trial and error.

I don't see any haters in this thread. Just some knowledgeable car guys.

I'm really tempted to go back to Atco this Sunday to try to get that 11.6. Or bust. But, I'll nip away at it or not. That's how it's done. Consistent trials and small gains. I'm a realist.

It ain't tens but it's more satisfying than keyboard speculation.

Carry on.
