Default Weird QuarterMile Times, need some input

A fellow Valley trucker told me to post this up for him since he doesnt have an account here...Last night he ran in one run a 12.29@93mph and the next run a 12.09@111mph. His mods are 6.0 LQ4 heads and cam. What do you guys think happened there??
here's the video.

and this is the truck, it's freakin sweet.

his 60ft was 1.6x.........they could've been messed up...however various people claim he could of shot nitrous and let off at the end since they said he breaked at the end.

Agree with AP that track times were probably off. So that's how you guys are so fast.

He could be letting out up top with that 60' time. I've run a 12.01@101 letting off around the 1000' mark.

Letting out at the end is a pretty good guess if the timers/beams weren't screwed up. It is an estimated MPH right?

If I was betting a piece of trash or a bird or something tripped the next to last beam before he got to it, either at 1290' or 1260' I can't remember how far about the beams are.
