Yeah, all I needed was 1 thousandth...maybe even 1 ten-thousandth to make my 12.000 an 11.999. For all I know, it may have been 11.9999 and rounded up to 12.000, haha.

Wow, DA of -1000 - that rocks. My last time to the track up in Denver, the DA was over 9000'. I, too, do rolling burnouts after rolling through the water box.

is there no room to drive around the box ? down here we have about 5 feet on the outsides of the box we can squeeze through if we really try in order to keep from getting the tires wet.

We can drive around the water box too, but I needed to so I could do a burnout to heat the tires up. With out the little burnout I would spin all the way through first which netted 1.8x 60's

I prefer to hit the water so that I can do a quick 4-wheel burnout and knock all the rocks and dirt off the tire. It also gives me an idea of how sticky the launch pad is, and I adjust accordingly.

I will have to try the rolling burnouts next time I get to the track. I always drive around the water box.

Oh and very nice times man.

The tanabe blue. It is a great looking and sounding exhaust, but the muffler core necks down a bit.

Great job, I ran my first eleven after the car cooled down for almost two hours while my keys were locked in my car awaiting a locksmith. Before that was a string of 12.2xx, 12.1xx, 12.0xx.
