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.

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.
