So then he was letting off in the 3 runs I saw? Why? Trying to consistently run a 12 second?

Which car was yours, I probably have a picture of it or video.

that ranger has a cage coming through the back of the cab...i cant figure why he would let off, unless he was so severely gearbound, that he is using neutral as the next gear and coasting through the traps...perhaps it was built to be an 8th mile racer and hes running some HUGE gear...

sleeper, some people seem to think that its impossible for my car to run 12.40s with a trap of only 105...

I will let them know bout that. Well if we head out there this Saturday I will let you knwo and maybe you can meet up with us.
He is bringing a blown CTS-V and the best he has done at OSW is 13.1@112. They went this past friday night and sat there for 4 hours and got 1 run in, so they are fed up with OSW!

They only have test and tune on Sat between 10-4. Starting March 28ththey go back to Wed. nights from 6:30-11pm.

Well I normally work all day Sat., but I was on vacation this past week. So i'll be busy this Sat.

I only made 3 runs, but after the first two I took atleast a 1 hour break and I left around 2:30. I also didn't get there until 10:30.

There was a car club there with lots of corvettes and also a dodge truck club. Hopefully no car clubs will be there this Sat.

here's a couple more for you none mustang guys.



my favorite shot


If I were serious about getting the best pictures i'd bring a tripod and shoot at much slower shutter speeds for that really nice motion blur in the background.
