Third run - tire psi same, water box soft scrub on the tires, heated tires up less than 2nd run, ~3,000rpm launch (Pro Tree) - MiDiablo drove; first time down the track since 2004 :

Car's previous best was an 8.9X, and we did not utilize the intercooler (didn't have any ice) these runs. We'll have to remember to pack a cooler next time w/some ice And we were happy as hell to just get out there, drive it, have fun, and hang out w/some friends!!!!!!!!
