Default I Finally Got In The 12's

I went out to the track last night and finally did it. I've been tryin and just out of reach for over a year now. My first pass was a 12.87@104 and the 2nd was a 12.85@104. I wish I would have gotten the bottle filled just to see what it would do on spray. I didnt get any vids but I will soon. For all the adrenaline nay sayers, i went from a 13.07@107 to these times just by switching from the edge. But I also didnt spray.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words. I didnt get any vids nobody got it . I usually take alot of weight off too like tail gate and spare tire and stuff. Last night I ran it just like it pulled up. Next time i'm gonna pull all that off and spray it. I think the tires helped a little but they are a little heavier too.
