New PB
This was with a DA of +300, 1.62 60', and letting off before the 1/4 mile b/c there was water on the track causing wheel spin. That is why my damn MPH was only 123.xx. 2 or 3 other vettes ran in the right lane and had the same problem. We told the track and they shut it down to 1/8 mile and then closed the track soon after. But I am getting more used to the clutch finally. See how I can do this coming Sunday.

Good job man, 
the competition/quest for internal mods supremacy is really heating up now! 
Lifting towards the end of the track/near the line really doesn't scrub off nearly as much ET as it does MPH.
You definitely gave up at least some ET by lifting though, that might've been a low 10.6x pass.

10.6 and you let off...holy smokes..That would explain the 123mph..I bet you will hit 10.4's at around 131-132 next time..Seems like you can never get that perfect pass in..Its always something..At least I know with me it is, Anyway..congrats bud on a great time.

Thanks. I'll post a vid later tonight. Waiting on a buddy to upload it. Sorry about the halfslip. Track is getting cheap and didn't want to give out 2 slips. So they tore them in half. But I have a vid to back up slip. I'll get it to y'all.
Thats what its all about!

Hope the weather's better next weekend, as it definitely wasn't ideal yesterday...I know it'll go 10.5s, but if you can get that 60' in the 1.5s I actually believe it could go 10.4! I enjoyed being apart of your record run and have the other half of your timeslip if ya want it!
