Got back to the track last night
Took the Trans Am down to race last night.
Remember, I race at 5800 feet above sea level.
First pass... 
Launched from right around 3700 RPM's and took off. Problem is, it was my first time hooking like that, and I got a little excited about it. Ended up launching hard and then smacking the clutch pulling it out of gear. Video of this is kinda funny. 
.085
2.389
8.779 at 91.88
13.098 at 116.80
Second pass...
Felt good out of the hole, but this time I was pussyfooting it. Trap speed is down because when I shifted into 4th it got loose. Backed off the throttle 50%.
-.017
1.904
8.014 at 90.96
12.368 at 114.39
Third pass...
Looking good. Still in the 1.8xx for short times though. She probably has an 11.6-11.7 in her when I get a good solid driveshaft under her.
-.017
1.810
7.711 at 90.76
11.975 at 117.59
Fourth pass...
Launch was nice on this one as well. But I went from 3500 RPM's and it bogged a touch. Came pretty close to pulling a tire.
.201
1.773
7.802 at 89.89
12.065 at 117.82
None of these passes were full on balls to the wall. I was scared for my driveshaft.
I have much more footage than this, but this is all you get for now.

Re: Got back to the track last night
Those times are hella great, especially for the altitude.
So, your car, with a better driveshaft, and at sea level, should run 10's all motor? At least, that's my guesstimation.

GODDAMN! I just watched the vid, and you raped that other guy! How intimidating. Nice hole-shot by the way.
