Congratulations! I was watching you and your crew working hard that day and I love the fact that you guys never gave in with so many obstacles. Your heart and dedications definitely shows with your results.

NYCE1S video of the pass. From this angle you can see how loose the rear end was in first and second.. I think the NYCE1S guys did a great job putting this video together!

there was one run prior to this.. car got very loose in second gear and I aborted the pass and went 13.xx. I've got no cage so a bad pass at 10.9 would have been enough to kick me out...

after this pass I was going to try and sneak in one more run, but the water pump belt had shredded itself on the 9.50 pass and something in the rear end let go in fourth gear making the car feel really unsafe, so my day was done...

I'll be back out with the car at the Fall Nationals at e town on October 6th with some wider slicks and power shifting to see if I can knock another couple tenths off.
