Thanks for sharing your slips and pics. She looks pretty tough! I'm making a request that your next time out you get a shot from down low in front with slight angle. Need to show those skinnies off brotha!

Here are some more slips, as you can see, my ET's were damn consistent all day but the traps ranged quite a bit from 125mph, all the way up to 129.75mph.

GT-R's have killer drivetrains, he ran 10.9 at only 122mph...sick! It's unfortunate companies don't try to follow in their footsteps.

Killer times my friend...maybe next year will be the year for me to do 10's.

Cool vid!
Pretty funny how the Corvette tried to stage with his rear tires instead of his front.

Damn, your E is loud and strong!

Looks like you dropped the exhaust too.

I ran a open x pipe, but should have run my signature sound, OPEN HEADERS. I will next time as the top ends feels strong running open headers. Open headers is WAY louder BK, but hey, we are dragging after all

I would have loved to have run the GTR, it would have been so close. There will be more vids coming, the same one of me running the ZR1, but from halfway down the track, so you will get a drive by
