Rumor: Someone ran a 10.79 ET today!!! WHAT??

So I am hearing that someone laid down a 10.79 today.. This appears to have been the best of 8 passes, all in the 10's.

My sources tell me this was done with an E55 running 93 octane.. nothing else DA was positive, and this is an extraordinary feat.

My "sources" earlier in the day had indicted a 10.81.. but that was a short lived PB for the driver, who, for the moment will be unnamed.

Seems the car was a collaborative effort between a couple of sponsors here. Anyone want to confirm this Misinformation?????

I believe NOTHING, without VIDEO!!!

It was not me... I wish. I have yet to get to the 1320 this year. Mo, I am waiting for Famoso for my new PB!! (You going to announce soon I hope , I hope.... I have a BAD itch now!!!

Alan's record still stands, but this was a great run today, nonetheless.

Slip and Video will likely come out.... Soon I hope. Track was ATCO. I'm trying to get more details.

Sounds to good to be true, straight 93 octane (no race gas, no nitrous, no methanol injection) AND with a DA above sea level? Crazy stuff. Did your "sources" include a trap?

The 10.81 was at 128.7, so I will have to wait to see the slip!


My "sources" are probably liquored up at this point.. LOL

DA looks to have been about +214. That is not bad for a California track, but NJ sees some great DA's (-1500 etc)

Never mind, I just looked it up on Drag Times. I guess OE has the 3 fastest 55's on record now.

I just got confirmation from the pilot. Times are legit.

Not my place to announce who, but rest assured Dane is not a big fat liar.

Congrats, ya big lug. Whoever you are. Sorry guys, I know it's a tease.
