I didn't get to run. No MAF to beat on so, I just took the ride down there.
...left a bit early but Lance's truck was running strong for the conditions. When I was there, he had matched some of his times from the last event when it was 65* and a slight tail wind.
It was hot as crap out and I heard that the DA was past 700 (unsure).
Derek,
I got a video of one of your first passes on Lance's camera.
Hopefully we can see about getting it up sometime here.

Sweetness!
DA was 700+ at around 9:30 and went up from there. I had my weather station this time, and by noon it was up to 1500+ DA but as mentioned we had a 3-5 mph tailwind most of the day.
Lance,
good finally talking with ya, truck was running good for the conditions I think. Bummer the cold air from the beginning of the week didn't stick around, but maybe come April
God chatting with you too Russ.
Was packed, one guy hit both walls, and I lined up with a new Ford GT

That must have surprised him quite a bit. Sure sounds nice to have a mid 12 second truck, any day of the week, even in bad conditions.

Lance, congrats on some badass 60ft times.
Derek, nice talking too you as well. I saw the video of you vs the GT at Lance's, think you'll like it. Of course, I also saw it in real time which was of course better!

I've got a somewhat edited version of the video I shot in-car finally done, and hopefully a friend of mine will have it burned on DVD so I can post up soon. I even waited a little longer in the lanes to let the GT pull up first so yuo could see who I was running 
By the way, Lance your run against the GT is in this post:

thank you derek. the one i have of you is with the yellow 4.6 gt, not the ford gt. i have dialup on my computer so i really can't upload any vids. tomorrow i'm going to sportside's (kyle) house to help put his tranny and stall in. hopefully he can get it up there.
