Default Anyone @ MIR last night? Crazy night

Last night they ran real street and Chris Little brought down his lime green Turbo Mustang. I think he qualified 6-7 in the quick 8. Last night was the first night he ran the car on drag radials, the first 3 passes he hazed the tires to the 330' and still managed high 8s to low 9s pedaling the car. Chris had said that they had the suspension right for the semi-final round against the number one qualifier(8.09) which was running very consistent. Anywho, they both left and it was a heads up race @ the 60', at the 330' the number one qualifier spun the tires and the lime green mustang was gone....until about 600' came around and boost was on line. Chris stood the car up on the back bumper 600' out when boost came on line, he pedaled it to bring it down, once the car came down he stood on it again and put it back on the bumper almost 1000' out. Craziest **** I have EVER seen! The car has been 7.7s @ 190 if memory serves me correctly.

So he was gettin it down the track and then at 600' pulled the tires up and put it on the bumper? Then the same at the 1000' mark? How fast was he going each time? At 600' that car "should" be going ~145 mph and at 1000' maybe ~175 mph? He must have been WAY outta shape and going pretty slow to do that. I would love to have seen it.

I believe he went 8.7 or so on that pass, the car has gone 7.7s. It was the weirdest thing I have EVER seen.
