In the words and style of the great Bob Dylan, GreenGo (the Queen's 2nd) is Knocking on 'Eleven's' door!!!
After participating in 3 SC races so far this year and a pretty intense couple of test and tunes and track rentals, I've gotten to 12.06, zeroing in on breaking into the 11's. And I am determined to get there this season! What a difference, a year and a new car makes! Last year I was stomping on the gas pedal of the 74 just to get it run the track and this year it's all about finesse and really 'driving' the car. I'm sure I don't need to tell you all there is a big difference between 96mph and 117mph in the quarter!
I would really like to thank you all for your support, help and tips. I'm still dialing in on the right combination for this green baby and I have learned a lot... Each pass is a learning experience.
Next stop, 11.99 or better, or bust!!!

Kathy better buy that jacket. A 12.0 car is a 11.7 car on the right day. If the heat picks up it may not be till fall but you will be there for sure.
