Give me your best guess contest
Ok guys, Friday night is my first try at the dragstrip. Weather is looking good at around 70 degrees. Stock wheel base, stock height, stock gearing, flies out, PCIII and shortmeg slip-ons. I am 215lbs in street clothes. 1/4mi track. I should get about 10 runs. I do plan on taking it easy the first few.
If anybody can guess my best time exactly I will buy them a Brockland bucket hat and have it shipped to their door. So lets hear it.

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Ohhhh, then I must re-guess....10.44...... honestly talking, not a single clue since we don't have any dragstrip down here 
Just make sure you end up safe and sound Rich. (BTW, strange that your "special friend  " Busa has not showed up yet.
Hugs,

10.69. Good luck, my man! And for extra credit, I guess that your first run will be 11.22.

Smokehouse, if that is what my first pass is I will send you some Brockland stickers. I bet it is over 12 though since I am going to take it real easy.
