Sorry about that guys. Try this one www.youtube.com/user/DBN2000. This was the first time that I posted a video so I'm surprise that it works at all. LOL.

I was getting 1.340-1.347 60' times at Carolina and 1.362-1.367 at Darlington where I ran 9.93-9.95. If I could have gotten the 1.34s at Darlington I might have got into the 9.80s. The tires are Hoosiers.

WOW! that could have happened very easily! I'm glad that vette was checking out like it was,a slower car may have gotten a drag radial in side.

You are correct.

NOSJNKY: When I got my timeslip and saw that the car in the other lane did not have a time, I knew that something must have broke. When I saw the video of the broken wheel chasing me down the track I was glad that I had the faster car. Was there any other damage to your car other than the broken wheel studs? I hope not as it is a nice looking car. Also, congrats on the times your red car.

Thanks!
Amazingly there was absolutely no damage(except a little flat spot on the rotor!). We actually ran the red car on those same drag radials later that day.
Your vette is very impressive and you had some equally impressive reaction times throughout the day! Anyone who hasnt HEARD that car going down the track is missing a treat for sure! Gotta love those big inch LS1s!
