Javier - Nice video. :up: Thanks :coolman:
Thanks, I know a little more about using the program that converts the video, so I think this one is better quality than the previous one's.:)

Nice video.
What was your time on that one?
It was either 14.9 or 15.1, can't recall for sure. 15.1 was my slowest run that day, so very likely that was it. I did get in one run under 15 with my wife in the car.

I have listened to it several times, a little louder each time and it feels good to hear it !!!! The Vette if you do a slowmo you can see his ET and Trap speed: 13.21 at 100 MPH. I thought me and the wife did good, my trap speed on that run was 94 MPH. :D

I noticed that you finished in what sounded like third gear just as you passed the finish line, and your first to second shift was at only about 5,800 rpms. is that the stock computer program you are using? I shift into second at about 6,600 rpms at WOT, and then second goes by pretty quick, and i hit third gear well before the finish line...

The 1-2 shift you are correct right before 6000 and 2-3 shift is right before I cross the finish line, Dennis reprogrammed my PCM. I have been tempted to manually shift 1-2 and hold in 2 gear across the line to see if it's any faster, I believe I could cross the line before hitting rev limiter.

Javier, great video. I felt like I was there, wait a minute, I was there. Nice job and a great time.
The last second before the video ends is my MM coming to the staging lanes :banana2:, probably Paula driving... again :shake:

Mrs. X, nice filming!
Bradenton speedway baby. :up:
I too noticed the shift points. If you come up to Indy, have Jerry move the WOT shifts up to 6500 or so, then you really feel it!!!
