I wish I had gotten their a little earlier (some serious road construction on I-44), and tuned on it a little bit. Nothing major, just jets, timing, and valves! I think I could have improved a little bit on the 12.951, but hey...I'll take it!

Congrats, Tom and Rob, Getting into the 12's with any stock car is a major deal. To bad you did not get any more run's. Sometimes the old saying is true , new track, new crew, same old Gateway.

rob, Wentzville is a 1/4 mile, It hooks pretty well, I ran 11.53 there in my 69
6barrel Road runner and 11.51 at Gateway under similar condition's. Wentzville run's Saturday and Sunday usually, Sat gates open 8 or 9 am and the run Elim's about 2-3 PM.
They have a Street tire and a slick tire trophy class, If I were you I would try one
of those, maybe get a few more time runs.
Phone is 636-639-6465... Good Luck
Larry
