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
