60' - 1/8mi' - 1/8mi spd - 1/4mi - trap speed
1.84 -7.59sec - 95.20 - 11.67sec -121.85mph
1.97 - 7.63sec - 95.32 - 11.71sec - 122.39mph
1.90 - 7.65sec - 94.94 - 11.74sec - 121.52mph
1.89 - 7.67sec - 95.19 - 11.75sec - 121.68mph
1.96 - 7.73sec - 95.25 - 11.80sec - 122.21mph
2.01 - 7.64sec - 95.39 -11.91sec - 122.90mph - (I believe the #1 trap f/the evening)

Overall - it was a GREAT time for me and a respectable showing for my car. Fikse, PTE(Pat) or Albert can confirm, but I believe I was putting up the most consistent high trap speeds for the evening. The VRUS 80mm keeps "pull'n!" w/out running out of breath! Thanks Victor!

.....Kudos' again to Chris @C2D(Tampa)-You've done wonderful work on my beast and it now proves it at the track!

U]Thank You again Fikse! [/U]- and it was quite cool to meet everyone and put a name with a face!

Fikse: - Can you please PM me your fax # so I can fax you my timeslips? - Thanks

Oh BTW - My times, and traps were on stock rubber! All runs!
I was one of just a few cars there without DR's. Who knows what I left on the table, but still was putting up strong-respectable #'s

Thank You again Fikse! - and it was quite cool to meet everyone and put a name with a face!
