As with making any car that will push the limits this far, things do and can happen.
The good thing is that this will give BOTH me and Ben some time to fine tune our setups.

A rotated g35r is sounding mighty good @ this point.

Fun to watch

Yep. That was my 10.9 pass, btw, so if anyone has it on video... ?
I'm not planning a lot of changes for the May runs - shift light and 3.33 gears. I expect I'll be able to do consistent 10.8 - 11.0 @ 132 with that setup. It certainly would be nice to get some serious traction and some 10.4s, but it's not possible to fit the appropriate tires with the big brakes on the Viper.

I was there last night! I was looking forward to seeing the marks white sti go. I thought he was going to do a late entrance or something. I met nick, I saw him pulled 13.2. I also saw the red viper hit 10.9, awesome run and that horrible crash. I might be there at May aswell, with my fp green turbo setup, if I get it together.
It was a black car, don't know what kind of domestic but I believe it was a station wagon. He took off from the launch and was already loosing control. It looked like a tire balance issue, cause it was bouncing up and down. It hit the guard rails and caught air from going too fast, I believe 159 going 8sec 1/4 mile. The car disentegrated and parts were flying everywhere. It was not a pretty sight, but the good thing is the driver is a live.

Mark, you going to make it up to Grudge Night on 5/7? I'm bringing the SL65, which is a bit slower than the SRT and might make a good "warm up" before the SRT/10 rematch, if your car is ready to go...
