............................Emailed the webmaster at "Bridge to Gantry" if he heard any news.
He said "The Vipers only ran for half a day. I've not seen them out since"
So the talk of a second day is apparently incorrect, this guy is on site.

That was clever............. all that expense and logistics for 1/2 day like last time? Not logical, but maybe it was unavoidable again. My Mind remains open to more results, but the unofficial ones so far are great news.....

Like Marv says, stay tuned.......PARTY TIME?

Bridge to Gantry stated there was a helicopter with a gyro camera filming the SRT8.

My guess is Chrysler sent the Jeep to get the SUV record and record some film for a commercial. Tomball brought the vipers to tag along and to reclaim the production car record.

Just my 2 cents...

The webmaster is Dale Lomas and he promised to email me if he hears anything.
He is positive the Vipers only ran half a day, his spies monitor the 'Ring every day.

Here is his email:

Hi Jon,

Not heard a peep - the 7m15.6s is from a pretty solid source, but I have no clue as to whether that was an ACR or the ACR-X that posted it.
I heard that well after the session had finished, so unless somebody is keeping their powder dry, I suspect that might be the final time...

Cheers,
Dale

If it can be done this is the team that can do it.

Awesome guys! Good luck, bury the Vette and then the LFA! Bernie and Ben must be doing things right to cut 7 seconds off their previous time at the Ring! They really know those cars!:)

If some Mod can approve a member application from a MrBTG, this is Dale Lomas the webmaster from Bridge to Gantry and he can fill in some details.
He has emailed me but he can not post till his application has been approved?

Here is my guess. Lexus, Chevrolet, and Porsche would have been watching closely. If the news was bad, they would have leaked it. Don't give up hope.

There has been no forums registration by that username, nor can I find anyone with the last name of Lomas. If he creates an account, I can get him set up.

Just relaying what he told me.
