Congrats Paul. Bet that was fun. Did Don do the driving and were the accel 
runs done on a long straight?

The 102 mph shows u have good hp and the 14.3 qtr time shows possibly 
traction problems on launch. Others can comment better but a 102 mph 
usually is coupled with a 13 sec qtr mile. The 5.8 time also looks real 
good showing u have good hp.

A good Michelin or other would probably help launch too as well as corning 
G's but as I remember, you have 60 or 70 section tires and may be hard to 
find a modern tire to go with your MiniLites. 0.9 G is good, you may want 
to keep the better ride of the bigger section tire and that allows u to 
keep the good MiniLites.

Congrats again-way COOL!
