Default Admiral Joe Fastest LS1!

Was Admiral Joe the fastest LS1 car at the Bristol Bash? I didn't catch any cars faster than his. Did anyone else attend this race?

What did he run? This track has a high elevation and I ran there in July on a hot day(track temp over145 air temp 97 humidity 92%) and still was happy with what I turned. 11.76 at 119.26
