lol I thought driving an Impala was bad enough punishment, Joe. But I do agree with you. 
Both JP and I actually drove out of T&T last night under our own power, so that is the best news of the night!
I made three runs - the best was around a 12 flat, then spun the tires to a 12.6 I think, and the last was a 12.3.
Two highlights - my very first 1.7 60', and I cut a .008 light
More to come... Stay tuned...

The 96 did not seem to run well last night?
Three runs, 14.48, 14.70 and 14.90. Track officials at end of track told me on the last two runs that the car was smoking? I'm now a bit gun shy 500 miles from home. I may pull a couple plugs and see what they look like but my gut is telling me not to run the car today.

all it takes is lots and lots and lots of MONEY!!!!!
I admit, The Mark is fast (for a Gen2! LOL).
Seriously, when we ran against each other Friday night, we were fender to fender until Mike shifted to 2nd. Then it was party over! LOL
Congrats on a great weekend Mike!
The '96 carried me all the way home faithfully. I think she may be hurt though. In the next couple weeks I will try to find time to do a compression test and a leakdown test on the 157K motor.
I have to say it took all the self restraint I could muster to not race the car on Saturday and twice as much self control to drive home "easy". :fart

LOL, if I had it to do over I would have let you raise your dial on that last run. But the way your ET was bouncing around, I was fearful you would break out.
