He did the music. We hardly ever get footage from the traps. I'd love to see my car crossing the stripe.

Arnie & Matt, great video!

That guy prepping the track with the scraper appeared very attentive!

It appears that the groove was sooo sticky that even the scraper was sticking to the track!!!
That must have been some hook!
So I heard.

You can say that again. When I was videoing Edgar's run, after I went to walk off the track & I literally couldn't walk a step without REALLY trying as I was stuck to the track!!!!
That's how sticky it was. I launched at 6200 rpm's w/ 20psi in my ET Streets & the tires didn't even make a peep!!!
