rumor was that a duramax ran a high 11 at Stanton this past Sun. Was that you?

In fact. my friend has it on video, I'm waiting for the footage.

I was at Stanton yesterday but I only ran a 12.33 and a 12.36. I was the only Duramax there and the only one faster than mine is in Texas. I may have hit the high 11's if there wasn't a 10mph headwind and if the sun was out. With the overcast sky the track temps were cool and my 60' times were 1/10-2/10's high. I also had trouble keeping the nitrous pressure up with the cold temps even with a bottle heater.
