Female in the 10s !!! During a Friday night test and tune, Rob of Strictly Performance Motorsports added a 130 shot of nitrous to my car to see what it would do on nitrous. We ran at LACR which is at 2710 elevation, but the Density Altitude was above 5800'. These are my three best passes, ran back to back:

Videos are on her website!
But here are the short cuts:
10.64 @ 130
10.66 @ 126
10.59 @ 125
Thanks go out to Rob of Strictly Performance Motorsports for his on-site assistance.
This was a wet 130 shot from NX I believe.

Congrats! I was at that track in June for my first time and it was windy and sand/dust blowing across it at about mid track.
That et/mph at 5800ft is awesome! Was it windy at all?
The car seemed to slip a little into 2nd? Or was it just hanging a little in 1st?
What displacement are you running and weight of the car with driver?

What you are hearing is not trans slip, but her going WOT after launch. We don't have the transbrake wried into the WOT nitrous switch at that point, so she has to hold the pedal at under 90% throttle ... then release the TB and mash the throttle.
We are still on the stock 1998 LS1 short block. The race weight is about 3000lbs last I checked ... don't know if the scale was accurate though.
Thanks for the title update next!

We had a guy at our local strip who weighed 575 lbs and his car still ran 10.0s
