    Damn, 1/10 from topping the record.

    STUPID Limp Mode. haha

    Congrats to Chris for a HUGE accomplishment.

    I do not understand the MPH though. All three runs were 115 X2 and a 10.6@110. Didn't sound like limp mode hit until the trap. Was the MPH clock off or are my old ears playing tricks on me? Cause if Limp Mode kicked in before the traps, F@CK, that would have been in the 9's.

    The launch on the first run was fricken wicked. Was was the 60"?

    yup, you are right Ron. He hit the 1/8th in 6.5 secs, lol. Im sure his trap would have been clearly in the 130's sans the limp mode. 9's are very close, just a stupid computer to whip into shape and its done.

    That is truly amazing. I am very happy and excited for Chris.

    Does he have the upgraded Transmission?

    HE was just past the 1000ft marker when he hit as near as we can tell.

    HE has the data logs so we can get real close to the point at which its puked.

    Sounds like it was a bit more than half way through second and not too far past the 1/8th". about 1000' maybe? doesn't sound like he ever caught 3rd does it?
