I was there that day at Milan. You could probably find a lot more of the footage from there under the Great Lakes section of the Corvette Forums. Personally, I think the owner of the Mustang was smoking crack. That car was consistently in the high 12's low 13's all night long. Granted Milan sucks *** for traction, so keep that in mind too!

That night at Milan was the WORST TRACK PREP I've ever seen. Oh wait a minute that's Milan where they are impressed with the fact they only use 170 gallons of VHT a year. Most tracks use 170 gallons in a weekend. It was so bad that I took my Nittos off and ran better with my street tires. The time was like a 12.30 to a 13. something I believe. We all got a little quicker during the night. I think the Cobra clicked off a high to mid 12 when the night was over. Food for thought.

Man! The Cobra had him from the line too. Give those Fords the world and they still can't win.

hey derty

next time you go to milan let me know. i'll see you there. i'm hoping for 11's next spring with my nx 100 shot wet kit. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
should be fun since i have only run an 13.doh so far.

Dan

oh ya, the guy in the cobra needs to learn to drive that thing. he should be MUCH quicker. on his behalf, milan may be the worst track in the business.
