Yep, vinyl wrap. A beetle isn't the easiest shape to wrap! Too many curves.

First round begins at 8am this morning.
The air will be good, so there is always a chance that another pass within 1 %
and under the 10.38 record will be enough for the ET record. Fingers crossed!
The current record is 10.380. The zero is there because 18years ago(1995) they only timed to two decimal places.
The speed record is 127.66mph.
Michael's MPH is well above the national record,
but still needs a back up. This should be a good chance because Michael's best last night was 129.7mph.
Go for it Michael!

Times and MPH from Friday look super-consistent - so def in with a good chance.
So dumb question... do red lights and breaking out affect it, or do the ET and MPH still count ???
