I spun, bogged, and had the clutch not engage in the 4 passes I made. I remember with the E that it just hooked and went. It was by far my favorite car that I've ever owned and I've had a few. In a straight line run, you don't have to worry about much staying out in front or coming around you.

Did any of you guys get my 11.3 run in the old Mustang convertible? That was mine as well. I know its an old ride and not many of those guys are into that but I was hoping someone had a vid of it. If you do, let me know by Pm if you will.

You MB guys were great! Thanks for letting me hang out with my P car and Mustang. You guys are great!
Where is the reaction time on this race? If you pause at the green, it seems like both were slow off the line.. Is it just me?

It was strictly test launches for me and reaction time wasn't something I was worrying about. Getting out of the hole at the correct RMP and clutch feel was my focus.

Thanks for the compliments On the white 997tt guys. Had a great time as always.
Car is cat back and tune only with 20" Rinspeeds

Just did a tcu tune this week and hoping for some 10.50's next time out.

Will be back at Mir in November for the street car shoot out.

Thanks for putting these together. Good seeing some old faces and meeting some new ones.

If anyone has a vid of my 10.70 pass please let me know.
