Default 2011 LTX SHOOTOUT Mod/Na class

There were 7 of us in this class. Mike V had us all covered with his 10.2/10.3 car. I ran a best of 10.78 and Daren was consistently in the low 10.80's. The final run was amazing. Daren put a holeshot on Mike, but Mike drove around him on the top end. I have a set of pics that detail the final run. Here's a video of my best pass. It was my 2nd time trial pass of 10.78 at 125.55 . I didn't qualify good at all. I think my best qualifying pass was a 11.02 or something like that.

Here's how the final round went down...

Burnout:



Launch!!! Daren had a holeshot, sorry my 55mm lens couldn't fit them both into the frame:



This is the gap at the 70-80ft mark, GIZMO is just coming down from his monster wheelie:




Then I put down the camera and watched Mike drive around him. Noone had anything for Mike in this class.

2 TIME CHAMP!!!!! His car is clean as hell too!


Congrats Mike! It was super cool meeting you and your Dad and we'll have to hit up Maryland in a month or 2!
