Today was Eaton Day at Milan dragway and for those that dont know, Eaton rents the track for a day and hosts a number of activites there (test-n-tune, bracket racing, dyno, food, etc...) for its customers and suppliers in the automotive performance industry.

As usual, it was a great time. Some good news for the Trilogy boys, they ran a 10.8x... in there marauder but they got kicked out for no roll cage. Katech on the otherhand wasnt so lucky, bad slave cylinder prevented clutch release on the Katech Camaro.. no good runs were had. As for myself, i did ok.. nothing spectacular. I ran a 13.40 @ 107.6mph... only mods were magnaflow and a lid.. and as i suspected, i ran pretty much identical to before the mods...(i REALLYY need to get those dang headers to fit.. bah)

Sorry, no pictures.. i didnt bring (forgot) the camera :{{ oh well.. but i did come home with one really nice sunburn.. farmers-tan style.. yeah baby!

Man, I wish I could have made it. Last year was a blast. Unfortunately my job got in the way this year :(

Jerry called me from Milan about his 10.80 run. He's obviously quite pleased. Traction was awesome he said. After hearing that I really felt bad I missed out!

Traction was pretty much identical to last year... i was pulling the same 60' within +/-0.02-0.03 of last year.

Wish I could have made it. I am on 12 hours this week. Nice to see the Trilogy Marauder break into the 10's.

sounds like you had a good time. Also not bad times but time to mod the 'maro.
