Both cars are impressive and I'm sure that Mark has had his sights on 6's the entire time with this thorough rebuild. So it is only a matter of time before he surpasses Sal's Viper record yet again.
The Vette I'm guessing is much more aerodynamic and that plays a factor as well.
Sal is cutting 1.2x 60' times which is crazy for IRS!

You still are mph 5 more than he is. I look forward to updates from the rental

Still no IRS wheel stand, that is way more impressive than any Viper I have seen. If Norwalk does their usual VHT spraying I think some 6.8xx are within reach! Go get it!

The 572 came straight from Sal's thread on Yellow Bullet... how true it is.. I don't know, but all those numbers came from his thread.
We cut a 1.25 on the back tires that wheel stand pass... that would have easily been a 6.9x or better pass had it come back down.
This weekend we replaced the front shocks, changed the rebound on the back shocks, adjusted weight, and planned for some new passes.
If the weather is good, we should make some really fast passes on Wednesday!

So, we had a really good outing, but unfortunately I only really made 1 1/4 mile hit... that hit was a 7.14@203 with only 32PSI out the back... We could turned it up the next hit and pulled a 1.19 60' and ended up pulling another double power wheelie... this one wasn't as violent as the last one, so we went back up with weight moved around and suspension changes and the car spun.
We decided it would be better to pack up whole and go to Indy than to risk the car anymore.
So for now, Sal holds the IRS record and I can only say congrats to him... but we will be out soon and we will get it.
Some other accomplishments from yesterday were:
Best 1/8th mile was a 4.68 with a 1.260 60' and a 3.18 330'... this was done on 275's!
Best 60' was on the 315's and it was a 1.19!
I also got my Hans device figured out and am now comfortable wearing it and we did much better bringing down the car from the power wheelies.
I do have video of the first part of the power wheelie, but my camera guy got excited and pointed the camera at the ground so he could watch the wheelie unfold.
Hopefully other videos will surface.
