I was just reading about that. It was at Great Lakes Dragaway in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin. This was yesterday about 5-6pm.

Launch control did not work once. It had before, but this time no. Had it in all sport plus settings, traction control off.

I found this tool as well http://www.dragtimes.com/da-density-...calculator.php here's what it came up with -

Correct your ET and MPH using the DA (Beta Testing)

Extensively Modified Supercharged and Turbocharged Engines
11.003 @ 128.317 MPH

If thats right, you could subtract a tenth for the extra weight to be at 10.9. It would have been helpful probably if launch control would have worked, but even if it had, it usually wouldn't have worked consistently. Still seems slow, especially considering the high octane gas.
