This is what struck me the most as well. Not that the times/traps themselves aren't impressive (they are, mightily) - but to make every pass a sub-11 one, all within a blink of each other, demonstrates the driver's skill and ability (IMHO).

Went to MIR today for a track rental and got quite a few passes in and was really happy with the results. Several passes I had issues with the car bouncing off the limiter on the 2-3 shift and would have been even faster times! 
The heart breaker was when I cut a 1.52 60' (new benz record breaking my previous 1.55) and then it bounced off the limiter several times to a 10.88 run 
I think it could have gone 10.69 on that pass if it was clean. Anyways, onto the numbers. I am including every time slip I have, whether it bounced off the limiter or not. All runs were pump gas and NO nitrous. I made sure to have manyyyy people check the car for a nitrous bottle and left mine at home. There is a vid proving it where I pop the trunk, film the inside, and then immediately run a 10.8x I will post the vid as soon as I get it from my friend.
Here are the passes from the day:
10:34AM 10.825 @ 126.45
12:04PM 10.790 @ 126.84
1:06PM 10.783 @ 127.16
1:10PM 10.888 @ 126.28
1:13PM 10.887 @ 125.90
3:21PM 10.966 @ 125.25
3:25PM 10.824 @ 125.52
Best 60' = 1.527
Worst 60' = 1.575
Best 1/8 ET = 6.919 (ran this exact 1/8 time three times!)
Best 1/8 Trap = 100.92mph
I think I'm retiring from the dragstrip for a bit. Maybe if i get some new mods I will head back but I am quite satisfied with what I have accomplished. I would really like to get a bigger TB to work on my car and install my ice reservoir and get retuned and see what it can do. Maybe even tune for race gas and nitrous and take a shot at the #1 spot

Ahmad,
you reflect the very best of what we all wish to be.
Dedication, persistance, encouragement, a teacher, a student.
I look at the numbers and it seems you squeeze every drop of auto out of your car. a 1.52??? 10.70's, seriously you need to be in NHRA and run the car . Your consistant and blazingly QUICK! I think you would be a formidible entry .
A new respect for the pointed star, a new respect for you.
AHMAD YOU ARE THE MAN
