Bwahaha!!! 10.32 @ 133!
Finally!
Took 20 passes to do it (16 of which were also 10 second passes) but my 2nd last time of the evening was a 10.32 @ 133mph!! YEAH!!!
Best feeling EVER!!!!
Time slip as follows:
Reaction: 0.9275
60ft: 1.4903
330ft: 4.3014
660ft: 6.6214 (106.58mph)
1000ft: 8.6291
ET: 10.3216 (133.25mph)
The car has a little left in it through both tuning and driving. Will these avenues be explored?
More pics and videos to come, and lots of both

yeah, in the second photo, it looks pretty jacked still.,. would think it would have gone back for the most part..
I was just wondering if he bent the frame pushing ~500RWHP(US) and running slicks..

I believe the reason Steve made so many runs is because that wasn't at an officially sanctioned track. It's privately owned.

The bumper support is a bit loose, thats all
There area few photos floating around, 1 has a bit of daylight under the front left hand wheel
There were no breakages at all, the gearbox is a bit worse for wear (10500rpm launches will do that to a standard 2nd gen box) but thats about it.
Whats next? Time will tell

Congrats on the 10.35 Can I make two minor suggestions?
1.) If you don't already have one, get a scatter shield for your clutch. Revving to over 9,000rpms has been know to desintigrate a clutch assembly, causing shrapnel to come through the floorboard and injuring/killing the driver.
2.) To help your reaction time, don't like directly at the light. (I don't know if you do or not, but this is what I was taught) If you look down the track so that the go-go-go lights are in your peripheral vision, you will react faster to the green light than if you stare directly at it. I've tried both ways on a simulator at Englishtown NJ, during the NHRA Summer Nationals. It makes a big difference.
Just my $.02. Keep up the good work though, your RX-7 is bad *** for sure!
