Joe, doing some mathematically modeling... using the times provided to you ( 60 ft in 1.685, 330ft in 4.963, 660ft in 7.644, 1000ft in 9.943, 1320ft in 11.867)
you hit 60mph in 3.6184 seconds on that race
compared to my 11 second race (60ft in 1.687, 330ft in 4.907, 660ft in 7.612, 1000ft in 9.976, 1320ft in 11.989)
i hit 60mph in 3.4845 seconds on that race
im 0.056 seconds quicker to the 330 ft mark, and 0.032 seconds quicker to the 1/8 mile mark....but you have the lead by 0.033 seconds by 1000ft and you win the race by 0.122 seconds...
looks like if we can both get a nice bite (1.68 60 ft time) its going to come down to reaction time to see who gets the win on Dec 6....im really looking forward to this challenge!

I think you're absolutely right, David. It will be a driver's race. Got any plans for changes to your car before Dec 6? I might get a 100 octane tune to see if I can step it up a little.

roll cage, nitrous plate, battery to the back....lol....nah i dont think i have the time or money to do any of that...but i think i will order up those custom bogart skinnys. hopefully i can get them in time. i think i'll pull my electric vacuum pump off the car to save 10lbs. i dont use it anyways...good call on the 100 octane, i always race with 100 octane in the CS...it has a little more kick
