I was the first car up. No other cars had been up the strip on this run. First run was an 11.28, then immediately after I did this one. It was very cold the previous night too. So id say less than ideal conditions. Also had a headwind
When the strip had heat and rubber down my car hooked up so well that I broke a drive shaft. I am 100% certain that had it all stayed in one piece that was a good 10 second pass. Oh well something to aim for next time

In a couple of the WhatsApp groups I chat in, the following statement is made several times a day:
"VBOX logs, timing slips or STFU!!!"
...... and we argue over 100ths of a second!!!!!
Matt,
Your car does whatever you "think" it might do, when it does it. Sling the calculator, spreadsheets and YT videos away. Stop theorising. Get it achieved/proved.
This stuff isn't easy, as many have probably already said on this thread.
Forget the "could've, should've, would've"......... bull**** stops when the flag drops!
Buy yourself a VBOX and you can prove your times until your gearbox grenades!

I don't want to do TOTB, I just want to run 11.9 and prove a lot of people wrong about the Newage WRX.
Like I've told you 15 times before, I'm not interested in racing seasoned racers in their 500bhp classics to prove the Newage WRX accelerates far quicker than a Newage STI.

No one wants to waste time racing you. We were offering you a platform to go out there and prove your claim.
But you would rather cry victim to try and save face rather than admit you are a big girls blouse....

Well.... Some of us put our cars up instead of chopping off!!
Ran at the pod today and suffered with a lot of traction issues. Still managed to bag an 11.8 though so it wasn't all bad.
