Congrats Marc, I knew you could do it.


The next major barrier is the 9's.

What did you say about a blower...

What, is a 4.27 light really that bad?
It is interesting that I finally cut some semi respectable lights at the last Pro 11.50 and then I creep right back to my old ways when seeking an ET LOL.
But have no fear as I also didn't do too bad during some time shots a few months back:

Minor update, went back to the track yesterday just to see if there was any more left in the car. Traction was VERY bad all day but I still managed to eek out another 10 (10.98@125.41mph on a worse sixty foot than last time (1.577)) making it now three 10s at over 125mph on two separate days which hopefully solidifies the legitimacy of it a little bit.
That 125.41mph as well as the one 99.19mph I hit in the 1/8th (on another pass) were also slight new new bests as well.
