My Lexus IS-F now in the 11's (All Motor)!!!
Between weather conditions and the fact that MIR had eliminations tonight I decided to drive up to Cecil Country dragway. I had a slight tailwind of 6mph and less than a 1/4 tank of Sunoco 93. I arrived about an hour before they opened so I sat in the car killing time all the while the engine was cooling off nicely. The gates opened at 5 and I go in and swap on the drag radials and head over to tech inspection. I am 4th in line to run (right lane) and the this first run was scary! I don't know what it was, but the track felt uneven so I slowed down just past the 1/8th mark and finished with a 13.7@71 mph. Determined to get at least one good run in tonight I get right back in line and try the left lane. Sure enough a new 2011 Mustang 5.0 lines up with me and I'm loving it! This should be a good race and it was. You can see the Mustang in the video around the :55 second mark. 
Results:
11.914@120.58 to a 12.936@111.44 for the Mustang.
I have never had a car with so few bolt-ons perform so well as this combination of the JoeZ exhaust and the SIKKY headers. Towards the end of the season when it gets really chilly I will go back and see what the car can do.
The Density altitude was -405ft
325ft elevation
48F
30.07 inches Hg
37F dew point
INFO:
-PTS JoeZ exhaust
-SIKKY headers
-IS350 Rear wheels with MT Street ET's.

YES!! Between holding 4th and the way I am now launching the car, I seem to have a winning combination. For launching I have found that it works best to not start brake torquing until the yellow lights start going down on the tree. When the 3rd yellow hits I nail it and that technique seems to be getting me into the 1.8x range for my 60' times.

Nice job man, congrats! Not sure about going on the 3rd yellow and that giving you the 1.8x 60' though since you'd need to pass the laser; you could fall alseep on R/T and still get good 60'. Did you deep stage on that run?

Gee your run was great.
I lived In VA for two years back in the late 90s. I remember hating the two windshield stickers we had to have, and scraping them off when they needed replacement. The local tax paid sticker and the inspection sticker. The inspection sticker was in the lower left corner and the tax sticker in the middle under the mirror. Your inspection stocker seems to be in the lower middle and I don't see the tax sticker. Have things changed?
