I think some others may not find them as cool as I do. I will save those for another time. You will notice, that no other cars were close to me and there are no places for a car to pull out on that stretch. This does NOT make it OK. However, it is something to keep in mind. Plus, my wife loves it when I do that. She insisted that we test the camera. 
All the suggestions that have been made are great! I will implement many of them. I especially like the one of making the passenger wear the shoulder belts. She might not like it, but she knows it is really the right thing to do. These cars were not built with safety in mind. I think we will also wear our fire suits and helmets while driving around town.  
The Nitto drag radials were a HUGE improvement over the Goodyear F1's. However, they wear VERY quickly. If you drive on the highway, the tread will literally disappear in one trip. But, I couldn't have gotten to a 100 nearly as quick without them. And thanks Greg for bringing up the rolling start... I knew you would notice. Never had mine on the track, but I would be VERY happy if my car could pull off 10.7 @ 130 in the quarter. That is smokin fast. You are still the king. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmDd14eITU0 I have watched this one many times...

That car has a 10.xx in it easy. Just knock off a 1.6 60ft time with some nice quick shifts when the DA is below 1000 ft and you're there.
If you like try the Mickey Thompson ET street drag radials next time. They last quite a while, hook nice and don't throw stones if they're not heated up. They do heat up if you drive at higher speed over 70 or 80 for a while. |

Nice! 
For all the worry warts there's a flip side, you can also get back to zero a lot faster than most street sleds going 10 over the limit. Plus they hear you coming, so it's not like it should be a suprise.
I think that may be the best audio I've heard anyone get, usually the audio sucks.

Yeah, the sound works, but the video doesn't show up for me at all.
