I would have to agree since you only got 3.3 tenths to go

Very exciting run did you use launch control on all the runs or have you tried both ways.

Kyle has a 2009 ZR1, so no launch control on his ride. Just great driving skills!

It was a pleasure to watch Kyles record pass from the start line. A driving masterpiece made possible by the Driver Mod, honed by 300 passes. Bravo, Kyle. That's a record that may never be broken.

Did anyone notice that the outer 1/2 of the left front tire comes off the ground on the launch in the video above^^^???

I don't, but if you have a player that does slow-mo, I'm sure it's easier to see then I did with my naked eye! Sweet Kyle!
