Thanks guys. Here are the splits, video is just being optimized.

60.....1.614
330 4.483
1/8 6.857
MPH 105.70
1000 8.897
1/4 10.600
MPH 133.03

Still lots left-car was set pretty rich-you'll be able to tell in the video. Still need lots of shift time-really rusty this year as this is only my second time out. When Sled builds my forged 346 over the winter than I'll really lean on her.

Actually it's funny you mention that. I was told there getting really strict this year at TMP. All they told me to do was wear a long sleave shirt instead of my t-shirt. But I do plan on getting a cage over the winter.

Yeah very cool. It sounds like you still have a couple of tenths left in it from shifting faster. Sounds like you let off a bit in between shift.
