If I am not mistaken, it is a twin turbo v8 right.

I didn't know anyone else had made it up. That was my best run of the day, I'm still adjusting to slicks, and the car needs more dialing in. Ran a 10.29 @ 134 on that pass, and if it didn't bog at the launch and i wasn't floating all over the track I fully believe she has a 9.9x in her... I saw the black lightening, didn't know that was you!!! My buddy got a better video he will have to get me as this was just a cell phone video...

Did you have to change your underwear after that left lane pass?

Yep, with a 7 speed auto. Roughly 500rwhp.

Nice. Truck looked like it was running good also. Wish the conditions had been better. Guess that is just the way trying to race during the winter is. Hit or miss.

Underwear? Try needing a new seat, haha jk...

I don't even know what happened initially to cause the car to go hard right. I then corrected a little much and it went HARD left...

As bad as it looked from the stands, it was way worse from cockpit view haha...

Those slicks just made the car SUPER loose every single run I had, I need more time tuning up the suspension if I am going to use them again. I only had 2 full runs that I didn't spin or go too loose on and only one of them was any good (see video lol)

Scary stuff! Meanwhile I go so slow that I can use the first turn in after a pass lol.

Thanks. Wasn't until the last few runs that I was able to get some decent times for it. Otherwise it was spin city.

Track was less than good, especially the top end from what I could tell.

I was happy and then sad when that white LS3 C6 steamed right by me at the 1/8th when we ran together. I was in front for a while and then there he went and kept going. He was only running around 11.9/12.0 though. My launch could have been better but it wouldn't have mattered.
