Congrats. We were pulling for you yesterday. To bad you didn't come up to MIR the track prep for most of the day was perfect.

Thanks Steve, Jason and I spoke about that when we were driving home. The only track that seems to hold these cars low end grunt looks like MIR.

PearlPower, that was a 97 GTS twin turbo Viper. Did you see how he pulled the front wheels off the launch and got out the hole relatively slowly? Well, he ran a 9.41 on that pass, and the night before he made 1419rwhp on 20lbs, lol.

The white notch you saw giving me a beat down was a mid 9 second mustang, without even breaking a sweat.

It was only a matter of when this was going to happen.
You used the NOS just to cool down the heat exchanger?
Decent MPH also, she has more in her.

Yes sir, with ice in the trunk, and spraying the heat exchanger right after my burnout, pre run iats were 33*. You could see frost starting to form on the HE. At the end of my runs with meth, and making two full passes spraying the ring all the way down the track, my iats ended at 56*

Ambient on the track was 65* btw.

Needless to say, I ran out of the sauce pretty quick doing that. Need to pickup a couple more 10lbers.

Congrats, hitting 10's in the quarter mile is a real achievement, especially when you think you did it in a four door luxury car.
