Scary, what happened? Hope it doesn't shut the track down for long.

Congrats on some low 11's and the fact that you said you wanted high 11's. Nice

Waiting to see the first 10.xxxx show up. So very jealous.

That sucks Jim, if i remember your best NA was 11.4XX or something. You had BIG plans to blow out the E55 NON NOS record today. Wow Eballer had a great run today at 11.10. Amazing. Was you having trouble getting traction on the cold track?
