Justa weeee bit faster tonight- video

Got 2 decent runs in tonight. First was a 11.38 (Video) and the second was a 11.34

Better traction but it's just gotten too warm down here for the really good runs. My video guy left before my last run so only a timeslip for that one, and yes I know it's too small to see.

Thanks folks. I can't see 10's in my future until I find some cold weather. I need some 40's to see some 10's.

I hope you find 10's Derek. It would be amazing to see one of these cars hit the 10 second mark. Keep flying dude. Your car is kicking a**!

Derek- great time especially when there is very little difference with Treynor's time in his SL65.

It's probably a gradual deal. My best without the spray was 11.65 in 45 degree weather. Once it got warmer, I was running 12.1-12.2.
