So Close! EvilTwinRob runs 11.00!

[madm5]

I was with Rob last night and he ran an 11.00 FLAT at 137Mph. I will try and get the video up today of this run. He was primed to hit 10s as we were getting ready to burn out when a stupid Lightning blew his engine and then continued to drive down the track leaving a NICE oil slick. They shutdown the track and he didn't get to make his final pass :( We'll be back out there next week.

It definitely got the trap just need the short time. Btw, what tires is he using? Hows everything holding up? (subframe, axles, transmission)

Other then a bent rear control arm, good. He's using 17" Nitto Drag Radials though I'm not sure on the size or anything :dunno

So close Rob, so close!

I was actually in the right line getting ready to stage as the Lightning oiled down the left lane...

EvilTwinRob and MadM5 were right behind me ready to go next...

Tough luck...
