Grats on your 11.99 +0.01 run Warrtalon. Damn , that sucks to run a 12.01 then a 12.00 . Yeah, only Karma could do that. Still a great run !!

What's worse is it was an 11.999 + .001. One _thousandth_ of a second.

Maybe not, I heard an announcement today that they will open next week depending on the weather.

Wow so close to 11s, I have a feeling your perseverance will be rewarded very soon. Good luck and once again, great driving.

Yes, they're holding up well at 13.8k miles. By looking at the tread, they probably won't last more than another 3-4k, though.

Around 21-22psi on pump and 23-24psi on race gas. The race wasn't that exciting, because he left half a second after I did, so I was several car lengths ahead the whole time. I did talk to the Z06 driver afterward, and he was pretty surprised by how far I jumped ahead, but he was very congratulatory instead of pissed/amazed. He appeared to know about other cars pretty well. He ended up running a 12.01@120.5 later, so I know he was pissed like me, heh.

I was there today. I witnessed everything. Not only that, I have that 12.000 run on my camcorder
However, I'm missing the 6-4 firewire cable plus the firewire adaptor for my laptop. Without them I can't transfer anything I'll post the vid once I get all the hardware.

Warr, you are a model of honesty by taking 2 miles off your time slip, but I also noticed that same Evos that were trapping 111/112 last week were actually trapping 114ish...all of them in the left lane

Congrats on your time...you're a hell of a driver!

No....He just wants you to think he ran a lower trap to make his driving look better.

Indeed. I would be a little embarrassed if I actually went 115.7mph and wasn't able to hit 11s, so claiming only 113.7mph is also a form of self-preservation.

Nice times warrtalon. Too bad you didn't hit the 11s.

Anyways, got two questions,

1 you removed the 5k limiter, right?

2 why don't you list your Dynoflash as a mod in your sig? Just askin'

ps you'll be into the 11s soon enough
