Rough night at the Track

well, it didn't start out to bad...I was thinking the posi was going out, and on my first burnout...my fears were confirmed, I was only spinning one tire most of the burnout. And 3rd gear syncro is biting it again only 2 mos after I had it fixed. I pulled up to the lights and staged...took it to about 2500 cause I thought that if was going to fry the tires, but the track was bad *** and I bogged the motor...ran a 12.1 @ 118 with a 2.05 60ft. Next run same story only the track had went away and I blew the tires...or tire...off and missed 3rd hard...it just was not their...the syncro was totally shot and I went 13.2 @ 112 with a 2.35 60 ft...very dissapointing to say the least. I decided to push my luck and see if it would go into 3rd. I pulled up to the line and didn't even get in the water this time, just did a short 1st gear (1 legged according to my buddies) burnout. I pulled my best 60 ft ever (1.97, horrible still I know) and the car was pulling harder than ever...till third became non existant again. I went 12.4 @ 115 on that run. I firmly believe that I was on my way to a 11.90 pass until then...the air was cooler and the car hooked much better than the 12.1 pass. I guess it is time to start saving my bills and get a real rear end and tranny...any Ideas?
