Default New Best!! Finally hit my 10.XX

Fot a new best tonight. I was so excited when I got my time slip. I figured I'd hit a 10.9 or something, but not a 10.7 My buddy (GTOMO) has a video of my run. He said he'd post it up when he gets a chance. And DrEvil snapped some killer photo's. I'm sure he'll post them up too when he gets a chance. Russ got a new best tonight as well. Congrats Russ!!

Wow, let me be the first to congratulate, well deserved. Nice 60'er, how did you launch this time? It all seems worthwhile now, huh?

I knew it was gonna be awesome as soon as I saw the launch, way to humble that GT500 Cobra.

That's not all Russ got.. but I'll let him tell you about that. I'd say he had a pretty memorable day at the track, too.

Thanks bro! I beat your best from last year.

But once your new setup is dialed in..........it'll be a new story!

Thanks man!! That car had full race slicks and was built from what I heard.........but he still didn't want to race me. The race coordinater made him race me. What a *****. I hear he's a nice guy........but he still didn't want to race me.

So you not only got the ten-second slip you killed a new Cobra while doing it?

Yup... new Cobra, running Hoosiers, and it had some mods also.. Black with kinda grey colored stripes on it. I talked to the guy but he wouldn't tell me exactly what was done to it.. he just said "pulleys and some bolt-ons". Nice looking car, but he went down hard in that race, Jon had him by several car lengths.

Nice Job Jon. That was an awsome run.

Russ talked to the guy with the GT500 earlier and he is a pretty nice guy. He said he had a pulley, long tubes, catback, and 4.11 gears. Maybe more but thats all I can remember.

Way to go Jon!!! Very nice 60 ft. time as well. You must have been all over it. Can't wait to go pick up my roll bar this weekend. Doubt that I will catch you, But I can at least post an 11.xx time slip this year "LEGALLY".

OUTSTANDING! Congrats Jon. Taking a GT500 down on the same run is icing on that long-awaited cake.
