I finished 5th out of 29 cars, I was by far the best finishing rookie.
This was my fastest run, I had to slow down to go faster.

There was timing error at yesterdays Autocross. I actually finished 4th out of 29. And number 1 and 2 were the same driver in different cars. So I was the third driver.

Had fun at the drags. But it was over 100 degrees and the track was so slick nobody could get down it.
The temporary track was an asphalt airport runway the fastest time of the day was an 11.20 by and AA/gas blown Anglia if that tells you how slick it was. Most of the fast cars tried one run and put them back in the trailer. My best time was a 13.22 that was easy out of the hole and getting to about the 1/16 mile before flooring it and I also missed 3. They would not let you run the AC and It was so hot inside the viper waiting in line ½ hour my hand was dripping with sweat and it slipped off the shifter. See the second video.
This video was how most runs were no traction still spinning at the 1/8th mile.

time was a 13.64 110 mpg

This was my best run even with the missed shift and all.

Time was a 13.22 a 109 mph
I might have gotten in the 12s with a good shift.

I also stayed on it after the finish line and took the Viper up to 160 mph before I had to shut down and get it stopped for the turn...
