I will let others chime in, but i believe everyone that came out set a new personal best.
But a little more detail on how my night went. The air was much better today and there were some serious cars running today too, so i think that helped a little in the beginning. I was only able to get two passes in...
11.135 @ 126.12 - 1.841 60ft 10.996 @ 126.20 - 1.725 60ft<-- new PB - ET and 60ft
first pass felt good, but i spun just a little bit so i decided to hot lap it. I think this helped my tires out a bit for launching... i revved up to about 5000rpm this time and really used the clutch this time to get the better 60ft.
But the reason i only ran 2 passes was because on my second pass, when i launched my oil return pump switched off. So it caused my oil from my turbos to get backed up. Large amounts of smoke shot out my tailpipes as i crossed the finish line.
I crapped my pants. I thought i blew my motor. But when i turned the car off i realized that my oil pump wasnt running. Look in my arm rest and see it was turned off. Looks like i need to figure out a better switch for that.... or carry duct tape with me.
So looks like 10.8x's are next. Now that i got my 10 second pass, i can start modifying the suspension and rear end properly to allow me to hook up better. so now the journey continues.

Congrats & now go put on some clean underwear if you haven't already.
John and Jeremy... Good to see you both once again. And congrats to us all for running our PBs...
All and all, I am very happy with SRT so far. A 4200# curb weight car that can run 12.18 @ 113.8 with only headers, CAI, and a canned tune is no joke.... It makes it easier to forget about the Camaro...
