Rock,
Nice run. What was your 60' time? Does automatic mean launch control?

Hey Jim. GTR set in sport mode (RRR) and Auto. Foot off brake and mash right foot. Driven like a true pro.

My brother-in-law was next to me in his 997TT.....Forgot to turn off traction control. He later ran an 11.8 @121. I was told that DA was 2300.

Well guys sorry to tell you theres not going to be a race.
Unfortunately last week my brothers house burnt to the ground (literally) 5k sq. ft house and only the Chimney was left. Seems they have no fire hydrants up in that section of Brewster NY.
The GTR a GL and an SRT8 all lost.
I would post some pics but my brother would be very upset he lost his doberman in the fire and is very upset.
If you've never seen a car after a fire it is quite unbelievable when I tell you it was just the chasis and it looked like it was rusted in a junkyard for 100yrs.
well the chassis and the steel belts in the radials they were left too and thats it.

Setting a fire to get out of a race seems a little extreme but I've never been one to judge.

I assume your brother and his family are okay. I hope he can forgive you.
