Event was great but a little chilly. The sun was out all day but the windchill sucked. Here are a few more pics from the event and one of my car at night. Sorry there are a lot of my car, but its my post, haha

Scott ran a best of 11.11 and then on the next run, he broke an axle. He has been 10.8x before, just not his day yesterday.

Basically stock. Headers, tune, RPS clutch, and some other minor stuff.

I didn't run. I just went to watch all the fun. I do hope to get some times soon with this setup before it goes in for the new motor.

This was a Corvette Challenge, no other cars ran. I talked to the guy and he said it has been in the 8's.
