New Best...
Well, I fell short of hitting my goal of getting into the 10's, barely.
Best pass was my first and the track was getting worse as the day progressed. Gained 3 mph in the 1/8 and 4 mph in the 1/4 while chopping 3 tenths off my best time. I was having issues of the car starting in 2nd on two of my runs (during the burn out the car shifted the into 2nd). Once I figured that out, the track was just getting slippery. I completely blew the tires off on my last pass and ran an 11.2
I'm a little disappointed by not getting into the 10's, but I had a blast beating up on some Mustangs and Imports today AND the best part is I didn't break.
Not bad for driving the car 1 hour and 20 minutes each way.

Not bad at all. They didn't boot you? No helmet never mind a roll cage or fire suit. Where I run <13 a helmet is required and <11.5 the cage and suit are.
What mods exactly and what year is that? A6 I'm assuming?

Oooooooooooooh so close.............
Good job, and you didn't even break anything.
You definitely have the mph, just a little better launch and you'll be there.
