No 9-second run for me...but I did trap 148 mph:)
Well, I got 3 full runs in today (had another where I mis-shifted and just cruised through the traps).
First run didn't get filmed. My camera guy had the lens cap on. It was a "feeler" run so I could see how the car and track felt. Ran a 10.54 @ 145 with a 2.17 60'.
The second run was supposed to be more aggressive, but I messed it up! I hit a semi-decent 1.86 60', but spun in second and hit the rev-limiter. It cost me big time on that run!! Frustrating, but it ended being my best run of the day. It was 10.45 @ 146.8.
After that, Test and Tune was unexpectedly cut short. They announced they were starting brackets in :15 minutes, so I went out and did one more run with the intent of hitting a slow 60', in order to prevent wheelspin to get an accurate trap speed. 60' was a purposely slow 2.35, and ended up running 10.83 @ 148.01.
I would have liked a few more chances to hit a 9.X today, but it would have been very difficult with these tires. Regardless of the E.T....I'm thrilled with my trap speed. The car is an absolute monster, and I couldn't be happier.

One thing I forgot to mention that KPG and a few others might find interesting:
I had my P-box in the car today, and during my 10.45 run my 60-130 time was only 5.4...compared to my best of 4.9. It was about 10 degrees warmer today than it was when I hit the 4.9.

But it's done drag-racing. Well, for now at least.
