I'm sorry; I don't see that particular run on the board. I commented on the cars on the board; previous runs excluded, since I don't have any personal or board knowledge of their accomplishment. Great run regardless. I do believe that Jamie's run is the only car in that sub 11 second range that does not have any turbo modifications.

Unfortunately, the weather that day prevented my attendance, but I sincerely believe that the next time we get together, if the weather cooperates, I can lay down a high 11.1 to a low 11.2 on PS2's with a flash, exhaust, DV's, EVO WG's on pump fuel. That is the fun part, trying to better your last time, just like improving your running time, lifting weights, etc. etc. I'm looking forward to the next track day, I hope you will be back by then.

Mike you should download that picture of your car and blow it up and hang on the wall! That picture is awesome! I don't care if you road race, drag race or hill climb that picture of your car is going to be hard to top. Just Awesome!

Guys, another "side" note to all this is that I was track prepping the car for Summit Point on Friday and the rear lug studs took about 150#ft. of torque to break free. I'm ordering new studs. My guess is that little wheel stand put a serious amount of force on those studs...

I guess that makes sense then. Man, I bet if you had stayed on it you would have pulled a 1.6 or better!
