I'll be out there after flying back from Vegas. I'm hoping the weather will be nice because the heat will only make hangover worse. Hoping for 11's @ 116-118 mph.

Re: memorial day weekend / l.a. invasion
I think I saw vincent run a 12.4??? That was the fastest time I saw from a third gen. But I was in the staging lanes a lot waiting around.
Best I could muster was a 12.79@112MPH 2.0 60ft. But my bests are a 1.91 60ft, and 115MPH. I missed 3rd on the good 60ft run, and spun like crazy on the 115mph run lol. It was a lot of fun though!!!
Post up what you guys ran!

Re: memorial day weekend / l.a. invasion
I'm getting on it this wekend....coming back from the dyno 5/21, front left upper brake caliper guide pin bolt backed-out and departed, made for a hair-greying 3 hour ride in bumper to bumper traffic (fixed before Invasion); after the buzz-bomb vibration at the track (occurred about 100 mph), rear axle (I think) is making lots of racket (maybe bearings or diff issue); I will inspect the rear axle assembly and get it squared away...could be a clue to the vibe in the axle.
During the two instances noted above, I was thinking, "Wow, what a POS!!" But, after it got me home (~100 miles both times) I re-thought, a POS would have left me stranded...
Bill
P.S.: Allen, I will drop 15lbs. for the opportunity to drive your bada$$ car at Famosa.....
