Consistent low 10's is an understatement... 4 passes all 10.0X

Visual Velocity does great work and will also be doing the photos for our big annual Camaro show on the Kemah Boardwalk.

Your car was solid all weekend Russ and you drove the crap out of it...

I think we surprised the hell out of some Supras and GTRs with our big ole heavy cars... LOL

Thanks bro...we were talking about how much there is to remember. After putting on my jacket, helmet, 5 point harness and locking down the 5th cage bar...here's what's I have to do.

1) Hold down the button to turn off traction control
2) Roll up windows
3) Pull up into the water
4) Blip the tires to get them wet
5) Pull up a few feet
6) Pump the brakes
7) Engage the line lock
8) Drop the hammer
9) Shift to 2nd while the tires are burning up
10) Release line lock button and roll out
11) Turn the nitrous pump on
12) Purge the nitrous
13) Stage
14) Wait for the tree
15) Drop the hammer
16) Hold on and shift twice
17) Pick up white slip (hopefully)

9.5) Disengage line lock


I'd forget half of this and think I broke something!

Gee wizz, that is a lot to remember in a short time. I'm glad I only have to watch the lights & put the pedal to the metal! It is going to be fun watching you guys though!

Yeah, I would just sit there continually blipping the gas wondering why I couldn't hook up. And probably in second as well, stalling the engine, looking at stands of folks debating on if I'm retarded or my car broke,

Incredible Russ !!

Out having fun and your car has the looks to match.

Get that direct port and single digits are in your future

Sweet............

Based on the smoke looks like you had a heck of a headwind on the 10.66 run.

I still have to shift, so it's not a full auto.

I hope I can handle the direct port...gonna be a little crazy.

There was definitely a big head wind. Would've loved to have seen it blowing the other way.
