first time in 11's !

It was not my car, but it was awesome! My friend has a '79 Camaro and asked if I wanted to make a pass. He runs low 11's all the time. He had made enough time runs to know what he was going to dial in at so he let me make a pass. I was kind of nervous because I am only used to running my 14 second GTA. I knew what the car was capable of but figured I would take it real easy and maybe run a 13 or something. Once I left the line kinda easy not knowing what to expect, I floored the hell out of it and ran 11:923 @ 110 mph. It was focking great, he has a delay box, but I just foot breaked it since it was my first time racing the car. I guess I did pretty good since he usually runs 11.4 or 11.5 @ 118 mph using the transbrake. I will post a couple of pics once I get home, I am on a laptop now at a hotel.
