10.8 @ 134 with a horrid launch :)
I'm up here for the Buscher events this weekend and decided to hit up the test-n-tune. Little did I know it would be freezing and there was a ton of water in the staging lane... I could not hook up at all. But here ya go, enjoy.

The vid isn't showing up, but I saw it on another forum. Nice take down on the GTO. Car moved once it hooked up!
I'm up here right now as well. See you sometime this weekend I'm sure.
EDIT: VID shows now.

Slicks, Charles....get them.
Awesome job- that car/setup has a lot left in it. A 10.4/10.5 is not out of the question.

 I don't want slicks until I get the cf hood/hatch/doors, I believe the drivetrain would't be happy trying to launch this pig on slick.
Goal for the weekend is a 10.4. I didn't even check tire pressure yesterday and the amount of water in the staging lane was ridiculous. I complained about it and he tried to move the standing puddles with a broom lol.

Figure out how to cut a 1.5 60ft....and there's your 10.4 pass.
Not sure what the fastest old-school 60-1 FP Red in existence is, but a 10.4's gotta be close.

My best was a 10.8 with a 1.89 60'. I cut a 1.6 and of course I blew a vacuum line off... Ordered a vacuum block and I will have AN fittings on everything  .
