Man, that JRod dude can DRIVE!!! 
Most of the quickest passes (I think) were done by JRod at the Z06Vette Fest. On a very slippery track, he showed us how to put the power down. Not to mention he's one of the nicest guys you will ever meet.
Me? I had a Murphy's Law day. Couldn't 60' to save my ***, car wouldn't idle at all, and had to peddle 1st gear every single pass. Oh well, there is always tomorrow. Ran some good MPH for the weather, (123.8) so I know the power is there, just need to figure out how to drive.

JRod ran the quickest ET of the day at 10.90. He drove at LEAST 3 cars to their best ET's that I saw. It was in the 90's with very high humidity, and the track was slick.
Me? Don't have the slip in front of me, but 11.6 @ 123.8 w/1.8 60'. Normally I go 1.6x at high DA's, and that was with the stock motor. Even my best 60 was only 1.75 on my "shake out" run IIRC. But, I just drove like crap. No one to blame but myself.

Thanks... 
60' was a 1.6x. On a better prepped track it would most likely have been in the 1.4's. 10.9x@127
