Arrived at host hotel. Too tired to go over the story of avoiding tolls and crossing the Susquehanna River at the hydro plant, and then finding the 222 bridge out...
Anyway a cold beverage on an empty stomach is making me deal with it better...
Looking for a place to eat now. Dan made it safely although not without the typical turbo mopar roadtrip story...
Anyone else here? Or is everyone arriving tomorrow.?

Already got another story,...
When checking in, a guy who was in the lobby at the counter also heard the hostess say "I see you are with the racing group, is thst right?" To which i answered, "yup "
The guy looked out at the van in tow, and looked back at me and in a inquisitive tone said, "you are racing?.... In a a Minivan? ? ? "
To which i answered yet again: "yup."

Thanks guys!
It was a real thrill that hasn't fully sunk in yet.
I'm still on my drive home, pulled over to rest a few. About 1.5 hrs from home.
But quickly, i made two other runs and just couldn't back it up. Felt like i was hitting some type of cutout. 2nd run i just let off due to seeing my check engine light coming on alot with those "cutouts".
3rd run, upped the overboost cutout a bit more thinking somehow i was hitting it on a launch induced boost spike that wasn't getting accurately recorded. But it had the same events, shifted to 2nd early and in 2nd and 3rd it was fine. I managed to put down a new record mph : 113.55! Did not make any boost changes, so that should have been about the same 23.9psi average (I'll update here after checking my log).
But while driving home i just had a thought. Tomorrow is Sunday! Test & Tune at Fayetteville is on, weather permitting.
I'm not even unloading anything and i'll go to test out Pat's theory, namely we both were dealing with fuel slosh and then losing power from that. I'll race tomorrow with 5 more gallons of fuel to test it out with no other changes.
Wish me luck, and wish for weather to hold out. 30% chance of showers...

Thanks Chris!
And with that very sweet run at Cecil I think MeanMini now possibly is the quickest no nitrous turbo mopar minivan. And only 77 thousandths from the current all-time record.
I'll let the judges weigh in a ruling on it, as i thought Terry said his all motor best pass was 11.97

Great to see you again too Mike, as well as all the other folks. Don't get to see everyone enough.
I wish i hadn't missed your best run, but hopefully they caught it on some video. The GLFM is looking good!
Weather forecast is up to 50%, and there's precipitation moving north towards Fayetteville. Will check the track phone in a bit to see if anyone is there yet. They might still run but have a rain shower delay. Or I'm hoping it starts breaking up before it gets there.

ARGH! weather does not look good for Fayetteville, i know the radar can sometimes deceive and really not be hitting the ground. But the track is not answering and they haven't changed their message.
I may have to try and be patient, but its not easy at this point!
And thank you sir! It has me so pumped i could barely sleep!

Here is a cool compilation video the photographer made. Some of our cars can be spotted. And there is a great drone shot of Wayne's van beating up on a gasser-style 55 chevy.
