just out of curiosity how did the supra's react to ur time, with them being used to being the "king import" at the track all the time? (look like u beat that one in the pic)

GREAT times.
Especially for your first track runs with that car.
You have 10's no problem with some more seat time.. and maybe a better tire.
Good luck, and keep us posted

Great runs, thawk, but no helmet? That's just silly. Most tracks enforced the sub 14s rule for a helmet, let alone the added restraints for sub 11.5s cars (5-point harness, roll bar, side bar, and fire-retardant jacket). You really should wear a helmet though. 
Everyone is quick to say "10s are around the corner", but little do they know how hard it really is to bring everything together for that perfect pass.

130+ trap is right-on for 600rwhp. At these high traps, the relationship of HP:trap is increasingly non-linear.
