Nitti's car made a couple of 11.4X passes and a few in the 11.50 to 11.80 range... it's fast.

Funny story... Viper Class ran before SL6 this year and there were only a few stock Vipers in the class. (Viper owners don't like their cars getting wet when it rains) :roll:

So for the time trials, we paired Guzzi & Nitti and put them first in the staging lanes. The Vipers run and then the Slants come out.
Announcer jokingly says: "Let's see how these Slant Sixes compares to a Viper"...
Tree drops, 2 SL6 cars crank-out low 11 second, side-by-side passes, the announcer freaks-out and the crowd chears... fun stuff!

My first pass in cool air I ran a 11.14, weighed the car and and I was under weight for the b record,so that one didnt count for what I was going for.next day I added the weight to bee in the b class,ran a 11.35 cause I didnt get up on the converter and went out first round,did get a .008 lite.All I had to do was make 1 more pass within 1% of the 11.35 pass.Went against Nittis car as a fun run and got greedy on the converter too much and pushed tru the lights.Car was close to overheating was very warm out and I just wasnt thinking clearly.Shouldnt have tried so hard at the line,I screwed myself.Will bee going for A and B records at Sacremento.Was happy that my NEW Hemi ram truck got over 15mpg towing at 70-75.Guzzi Mark

Great job Mark!! And thanks for your honesty. I'm sure you will run even faster when you reset those records. You have got to be thinkin a 10.XX is in your future.

I always had good luck with 3.91's Mark. You want a long gear to make the motor pull. Everybody thinks of nitrous in terms of HP, but it's strong suit is torque, and lots of it. :D

Just found out from Seymore that I did get the B nitrious record,cant use my 11.34 run at 116.80 because I didnt back it up within 1%,but the 11.568 at 116.47 DOES count.I definately will bee trying to lower that after I try for the A nitrious et record at Sacremento.Not possible for my car to get the A nitrious mph record.Mark

Forced induction doesn't require as much gearing as N/A, plus a higher gear will pick up your MPH.
