Attached is a picture of the 12.86 run, and the competition I was up against (Barnhart's ZL-1)! I got him at the tree, but it was tail lights from there on out!

This picture is quite possibly my favorite, as it documents our work over the past few years. (see attachment)

Rob, can't see if your front tire on the right looks the same. I think you were outgunned before you started, but great run all the same! Congrats!!!

Yeah, outgunned to say the least! I take it you aren't impressed with the 2.0X 60' time![img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Just so everyone knows Rob was kind of forced into a good run since Tom had turned in a 12.9 about 2 hours earlier. Tom did have a little more than his 15 min. before son set a new record. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Actually there was one more record broken in the Clary househould this weekend, and i think it might even be a world record. If only I had a scanner I would post the record Rob and I set when we raced our late model SSs for the second time. I think we set the record for slowest combined 60 foot time EVER! I cant seem to find my time slip from that run, but I think he had a 2.7ish and i was 2.8ish. Now thats slooooooooooooooooow. Luckily when we came back to the pits dad had just ran his 12.9, so not many people were asking how we did.

P.S. I got the win b/c of big brothers red light. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
