Default Ten second club

We had some nice weather Sunday, So i decided to take my camaro
for some test n tune. I made 2 ten second runs with a little
help from the blue bottle.

Here are the slips

60' 1.571 1.557
330' 4.534 4.524
1/8 7.004 6.999
mph 99.22 99.06
1000 9.159 9.158
1/4 10.979 10.978
mph 122.98 123.06

I'm thinking about bracket racing with the bottle.

Craig, now you'll have to change your profile (11.15). Where did you run at?
