New NA-C5 Best 9.703 1/4 ET at 144.83 MPH We are traveling back to East Tennessee from South Georgia Motorsports Park.
I had a great day at the track. The DA was from -600 to -800 all day. I made ten ¼ mile runs. After initial tuning the car ran 9.70's the rest of the day.
I managed two 9.70 NA runs, they are listed below.
1:52 PM - 1.320 60 ft, 6.184 1/8 ET at 106.45 MPH, 9.703 1/4 ET at 144.83 MPH.
2:36 PM - 1.325 60 ft, 6.186 1/8 ET at 106.92 MPH, 9.704 1/4 ET at 144.44 MPH.
I also want to extend a very special thanks to Eric VonHentschel for going above the call of duty with all his help and expertise in reaching my NA goals. Eric’s machine work, part selection and engine assembly provided me with some killer power today!
Videos and time slips will be posted later!

Nice meeting you guys and congrats on the runs...That car is simply insane the way it puts the power down. Too bad you couldnt get that "run" prior to the wall kiss that other vette made.

New NA-C5 Best 9.703 1/4 ET at 144.83 MPH Thanks Rock. I enjoyed hanging out with you guys today. I was completely thrilled with the performance of my car today, but yes I would like to have run the twin turbo C6 before he hit the wall. Jeff got his crash on tape. I really hate that it happened to him.

I am trying to get the videos loaded! Had to deal with a waterline break when we got back home from the track last night! So I am a little bit behind.
That is one mean ride for sure DBN, congrats on reaching a new PB and thanks for letting me ride along to be the video man!
DBN and I decided it would not be good for us to have a track like that close to home, it was a very nice day and the track took its toll on broken cars, they had the starting line working very well!
It was good meeting THE ROCK and FraggerCrue. That Grey GTO runs very well for sure!

To All:
Here is the link to an awsome video of DBN's C5 running a 9.703 ET at 144.83 MPH NA and then backing it up with a 9.704 ET at 144.44 MPH NA. Both runs produced a 1.32 60 foot! The only downside is the time did not post up on the scoreboard on the second run. I have no ideal why the scoreboard showed a 1.21 for his reaction time on the time slip it shows a .121 reaction time on the 9.703 run.
