MY FRIEND CHRIS WITH THE CALLAWAY CR1 RAN A BEST TIME OF 12.08 AT 126.4 MPH ON TRUE STREET TIRE,S. I AM NOT SURE THAT I WOULD WANT TO TANGLE WITH HIM EQUALLY EQUIPED. MAYBE SOME DAY WE WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO FIND OUT

Thanks.
And the 12.08 was with a 2.15 60' time.

I am not sure the writer(s) of the Vette-Viper article decided to publish my worst time of the day (the one where I some how missed a gear), but they did.

"BDS" would love to run you street tire to street tire someday. I think you would still win, but it definitely would be fun.

Still trying to dial the car in and I have never raced River City before so I was trying to figure what to launch at but I also ran a 12.1 @ 125.
