Default 11.40 vid
http://www.corndesigns.com/vids/s10vsmeanie.mpg

HRP doesn't flash times on instant green Sundays, so here is the specifics:

60ft... 1.584
330... 4.698
1/8... 7.308
mph.. 96.89
1000.. 9.520
1/4... 11.409
mph.. 119.55

Always fun to take down a trailer queen, especially when you drive 225 miles to the track! :hurray:

I have no idea, but I couldn't hear my own car at all the entire race :crazy:

That S10 was loud. In fact, the only time on the entire video that you can hear my car is during the burnout.

there were a few spectators out, but they were all sitting on the side where the camera was located. My buds back in the stands said there was quite a buzz in the crowd after the lights went up on my side. Quite a few folks were reaching into their wallet for betting against the street car...... :jester

those track dedicated S10s are really light (2500-3000lbs) and usually have excellent gearing and a small block chevy. Toss in a converter and decent auto tranny and for not too much investment, you have a solid 11 second vehicle with alot more potential.

Here's my other run from the night:
