DA before noon was <100, right now at 3pm, it's around +378. Great conditions on a sun warmed track.

RPR Rental = New PB and carnage

Skip to 22.38 in the vid for my 9.96 pass.

Here it is IN CAR., Watch in 1080p/full screen




AND...the KILL SHOT..(death by wheel hop)


Here is my carnage..



This was on the mild street tune, through the air filter, just how I drive it. I had about another 50-60rwhp I could have put in it IF I could get it down the track easier...I was having hell shifting it and keeping it from wheel hopping....(obviously)


So she is in retirement for a while until I can get enough loot together to do an auto swap and build another rear end.... Probably late winter...

Some good passes were made yesterday; I think this season is going to see some fast passes and records dropping! Kudos to all on a safe event, some things I took from yesterday is how fast the game has gotten and the guy making passes on the motorcycle running mid 6's was an awesome sight to see!

Wow, what a day. Thanks for posting this up and letting me participate. I had a blast running down the track and seeing all the others do same. It was great meeting some of you guys. I didn't get a PB during the day but stuck around for the Friday night mayhem and did this. It's about a hundredth better than my 9.99/135. If it hadn't been for the strong headwind I think it would be significantly better. The video link is my first attempt yesterday at launching with the controller... I need better brakes! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...Ri6hOE#t=2902s

Here are my time slips..decided to go make a few passes before my race thins Sunday. I'm glad I did..found out I'm out of fuel pump..these were boost only passes..I tried to sprayed but the computer shut it down when fuel pressure dropped..

I drove the car to the track..checked tire pressure..made my passes..and drove home. If I was able to sprayed it would have ran 8.6-8.8..

Nice meeting you Jeff, that's a beautiful car you had with you.

I told you I had high expectations, I fell a little short. I was hoping to have the U.S record for N/A (IRS) GTOs. I came up .016 short, but I think I'm the only one to run in the nines more than once.

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant ever (USA) in an N/A IRS GTO . Heck, I was one of the slower cars there.
