There is something seriously wrong with their tune-up! My 1320/MPH calculation shows a 112.11 MPH run as being "optimum" with an 11.77 ET! That means they "somehow" picked up 1.68 seconds. A 10.09 would seem impossible. Must be one of those toads setting off the beams at the finish line. Hope nobody squished the poor toad!

I call it dumb luck. We went 10.29 and as I worked by Keith's car I said you will be in the 9s he said boy I don't want to do that. Good driving guess or real good luck. He is good

Inconclusive.....so many things can go wrong, right off the top of my head....

ran out of gas/fuel pump death/filter clog?
Computer gremlin ie loss of voltage to ECU
throttle petal malfunction.....yes it happens.....
Misfire.....ie coil pack going south, valve spring lets go, dead hole.
slick puncture
window regulator malfunction causing windows to come down
opponent crossing the center line
torque convertor letting go
tranny slip
Pinion breaking
hood malfunction...
And more!

or you could be dead on.

Sandbagging? They run their car hard and all they got was crap from most on here.
So now maybe they will help to justify all the crying.
