2 different drivers, on different nights, run the same record breaking time with one car.
That has to be another record to go with the 9 !!! You guys can drive, that's for sure. I salute you 2

Congrats to both of you...... it was a half shaft then not a output shaft???? Changing a halfshaft in 12min's is damn impressive! Changing a output shaft in 12min's is well not sure what you would call it but scarey!!!!! IMO! LOL!

What was the temp out that day down there? I'm debating going to cecil tomorrow but the high is going to be around 37-39deg's and i'm afraid of what the top end of the track is gonna be like. Atco preps their track alot better then most and this was a rental so they probably sprayed the entire track to make sure you guys were safe

The temps were 35-38 with intermittent flurries and a 29.99-30.04 barometer.
The air got much better by 4:30 on as the barometer went up, the skies cleared and the wind died completely.
The evening session had it best with great prep, rubber, air, and all the runs runs they wanted for $15.
