330 - 4.803
1/8 - 7.392
mph - 94.42

330' - 4.677
1/8 - 7.262
mph - 94.45
1000' - 9.503
1/4 - 11.388 NEW BEST
mph - 119.97 NEW BEST

run #3 100 dry shot (puts about 65 to wheels) on 2700 rpms
60' - 1.710 (spun let out twice)
330' - 4.697
1/8 - 7.165
mph - 99.93
1000' - 9.275
1/4 - 11.053

he has a a4 with a converter. Just left before the 10 second run but very impressed, congrats Robert!

I went with him and my best was a 12.59 @ 113 with a crappy 2.0 sixty. god for the life of me i can't get a good sixty to save my life. I was on 275/40/17 nitto's I guess more practice. this is with the new cam with the old cam tune.
