Wow, as if the 10.73@129mph wasn't already almost beyond comprehension, you go and raise (lower? ) the bar even more!
Congrats again John on an earthshatteringly stellar effort.

On the 4 or 5 occasions over the last 8 years where I was fortunate enough to be at the track at the same time as Ranger, his car (be it his C5 Z06 or his C6 Z06) was always run at full weight...passenger seat still in, full size front wheels/tires, the whole nine yards.

Video of this 10.71 pass has been edited into Post-1.

It plays in HD (720p and 1080p), when viewed at youtube. Sound is worth cranking up.

My thanks to racer Joley for the great job shooting the footage.
