OK, I guess I'm the first one to make it home from the practice session. As much as I'd like to post the results, I'll let Tommy do that. I will say that he didn't get into the 10's. He even let Blitz drive his car...what a pal!
We had a few Cobras to demonstrate for Blitz the problem he was going to have hooking up. One BB Contemporary with drag radials was great out of the hole, but lost the clutch on the shift to second and coasted to the finish...and the trailer
.
Two SB Superformance cars on street tires with first time drivers behind the wheels survived to run another day. I did a few passes gradually feeling what it was like to exceed 80mph. On the third run I had almost worked up the courage to hold the pedal down all the way to the end. Unfortunately I got asked to leave because I ran 12.23 and didn't have a roll cage. 11's may have been possible, but I'll probably never know. Back to waxing
. CzarSmith got to stay and better his times because apparently his hard top meant his Cobra wasn't an open car. He worked his way down to a 12.01 @ 125mph before calling it a day.
Video cameras were rolling, so there should be some video evidence later.
