I just couldn’t get it done this time missed by just 2 hundreds of a sec.

OK here is my story.

I didn’t plan on getting to the track but something came up and I needed to head to Princeton. So I hook up with everyone to try to put my 06 Z06 in the tens. The track was pretty busy for this time of the year and I knew that they were going to break my balls if I started posting times under 11.50. We had a gusting head wind of about 25mph and a lot of street tire cars resulting in fair track prep. First pass I launched at around 3,500 and roasted the tires saw a 1.8x on the board so I got out of it and pedaled down the track. Next run I switched lanes and left soft 3,000 rpm and got a little spin but managed a 1.68 60’ so I stayed in it I short shifted the car at 6,600 looking to learn a little and hoping to get a few runs in before I got thrown out. Well that didn’t work out expecting a slip around 11.50 I was handed an 11.01 @ 127.33 and my walking papers. I begged the tech for a warning and allow me one more shot but he wouldn’t give in. I know this car will run at least a 10.80 the way it sits and with gears I expect a 10.60’s.

Here is the break down

60’ 1.688
330 4.698
1/8 7.144
MPH 101.21
1000 9.235
¼ 11.014
MPH 127.33

For everyone that is unfamiliar with my car it has the following mods:
American Racing Headers & high flow cats, Electric Water Pump, foam air filter, drag radials and a Custom LS7 tune by The Vette Doctors. I have not touched the inside of this motor.

Here is a link to the videos

nice try, good luck, when you break into the 10's all the Z06 owners can put headers on their car and claim they have 10 second cars. Good to be the first!

Way to go Paul.
Just curious why you didn't wind her all the way out though?
10's are waiting for you surely!
