Well guys the fat lady did not sing. I had about 7 runs between 12pm-5pm with all of them in 11.0x etc and my traps range from 125mph all the way up to 129.75

My 60ft ranged from 1.54-1.72 and that was roasting the tires. The track temps went from 70-80* between the 5 hour span.

Getting these cars in the 10s is a lot harder than I thought but that is what is so fun

I did rape a zr1 and only lost 2 all day. Both of them were full drag cars. Slips and videos will be up soon.

Brotha, everybody on here knows that what you just posted. . .with the emphasis on "70-80 degrees" means your car is ten second car. The easiest way to make it official. . .come up our way for a weekend when we rent out MIR - GUARANTEE YOU RUN TENS ALL DAY LONG

Better track/weather conditions and you are there my friend.
Not that 11.0 is anything to sneeze at either. CONGRATS on your new PB!!!
Still can't wait to see that biatch in her drag setup!

Nice job Craig!! 1.54 60` is about as good as you can get. DA was not on your side but you need to get to MIR. You get negative DA and you are well in!!!!

Your new license plate should read "8DA VET"
Or "8BY AMG"

Dang so close, that must be killing you. 11.0 I am sure had some peoples jaw dropping though.
