Default 2 New bests

Well myself and a couple my friends went to a local track for their Street Heads-Up Challenge Sunday. The rules were: Had to be Street Legal, run on DOT approved tires, run through a closed exhaust, have insurance and registration in car. Had a great time and set 2 new bests....60' and 1/8th mile

here is the timeslip of my run and a video(it was a real close race!)

I am car #1179

#1179------------------------------#1417

.677-------- Reaction ---------- .612
1.484
-------60 ft -------- 1.521
6.310------ET @ 594 ft ----6.322
6.720
-------1/8 ET ----- 6.728
110.01
--------1/8 MPH -------110.83

I checked an online calculator, it came to 10.55@129. I have to get to MAR!

6.72 @ 110 mph is way cool. Was this run made with the DOPE or all motor?

Congrats, you are flying.
