This motor has already run 14-teens in street trim through exhaust, on ET Streets @ 3250#.

I am hoping to get it into the 13's on motor only this season. :?

Yep. The S/Pro break at RT66 is 11.99. I am hoping to run .80's on a good weather day. :?

At Joliet we can usually count on 2 good weather days out of the 12 race dates.

Early season when the temps and humidity are good there will be at least a 25 mph crosswind.

Mid season it will be in the low 90's with 50+% humidity.

Late season will be back into the wind. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I didn't count rain because we can't actually make a pass in the rain. The rest of it we can. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have actually been snowed out and fogged out at RT66 too. :?
