I went, and it ran exactly what I was hoping! Very first run of the day, on brand new tires, nice smokey second gear burnout got me a 1.87 60', and a 13.76 at 103.97mph, with missing gear for a few tries, and extremely worn stock rubber bushings on the upper control arms wagging the tail the whole pass with each shift. The next pass came about half a hour later, where a nice smokey third gear burnout to continue breaking In the new tires, and that pass came In a little sower, but had a 1.807 60 ft, and a 13.899 at 102.84..... again missed third, and got the trans jammed in 4th and stuck there for about the entire shut down area before it popped back out. I let the car cool for about a hour, talked to it and asked it to help me with a clean pass, and no missed gears, and it listened. The third pass of the night gave me another 1.805 60ft, no missed shifts, and a good clean pass (very gingerly granny shifting) awarded me with a 105.9 mph run at 13.254! I know that a 106mph is good for a 12.90 run, so I gave it another shot, and was awarded with a nearly identical pass, but still no 12.90. The last pass of the night, I was next to Belleville high school auto lab I'm pretty sure. I hate to beat up on kids though, so after I got them on the 60' (another 1.802) and pulled on them in second, I decided to go ahead and miss third so bad that I couldn't find it again, and also told my stupid muffler to fall off :-D
All and all, yes it's slow, but it did better than I was asking of it, and I can't wait to get a few things tidied up, and go for the 12.90's.
And I'm gonna try the imagur thing, probably tomorrow.
