Drag racing launch videos, 11 sec. stock turbos

I got some videos from the track this week. Two runs with good starts but only did 11.57 both times, see the links below for some good videos of the launches. Then the sun was going down it was getting colder and I would have done better on the 3rd run, but the quick disconnect plastice piece on a heater coolant hose broke at the start of the run and I dumped coolant all the way down the track, and almost lost control when the tires started spinning in 2nd gear.

(1.61 60ft, the truck ran a 12.2)

(1.58 60ft) I shifted into 2nd gear too soon, but got a better 60ft time.
