I just copied this from LS1Tech...
==============================
Well, it was a great night at Dallas Raceway for the LTX world. 3 new personal bests in one night! Although mine is not as awesome as Tony's and Ray's, I will tell everyone here that I have new appreciation for the skill required to drive a 6-speed down the track in the 10's or quicker. So Taner and Brady...my hat goes off to you two. I also gotta say thanks to Tony, Nitrous Outlet and Lloyd Elliot for helping me get here.

60 - 1.627
330 - 4.525
1/8 - 6.929
MPH - 103.25
1000 - 8.996
1/4 - 10.721
MPH - 129.49

As for why I"m going underwear shopping, please see the first vid below.

This pass would have been my best pass of the night, but I was nervous and it was soooo hot that my hands were dripping with sweat and my hand slipped off the shifter on the 2-3 shift. Damn!! Probably would have been a 10.5x. Enjoy.

Way to go Kyle. I assume thats NA. Those times will get even better when you hook it up and hit all the shifts.

Big congrats Kyle. I was wondering when you were going to post a new best.


Also are you guys running those new bests in that brutal heat you guys been having ? or does it cool off a little at night.

Thanks man. I wish that was N/A! The heat and DA was pretty terrible that night and even worse I found out my race weight is almost 3700 lbs. It's moving for a big fat pig. :shiner:

Thanks Jeff. Yeah, it cools off to about 90 at night. It was 104 when we pulled into the pits. I think in better weather conditions alone it would have ripped a 10.5x at low 130's. Pray for some better weather in BG.

Kyle if it's any consolation the weather here hasn't been much better not in the 100's like you guys but the most streak of 90's we have had in many years.


90's at night though wow your car will get down in some good air.
Congrats again.

Yeah, this summer has been pretty brutal. I recall Larry talking about the heat up there and my brother in NY said it was bad there too. We just can win... :(

The heat is terrible just about everywhere. My car is a pig too. I still don't know what it weighs but I bet well over 3500. Guess I will find out in 2 weeks.:hmm:
