10.5W tires too.. his **** off. Dan holds some records, I believe. 7.4's... WOW! Outlaw racers are nuts! Single turbo, small block. That's outstanding.

Tim lynch went a 7.0X on 10.5Ws and is currently the fastest (in the 1/4)

i believe chris ridge is fastest in the 1/8, i think a 4.68

There is controversy over Tim Lynch's car and I don't think he has the official record as a result. I know he ran a 7.16 but his car was 300lbs lighter than the rules allow. Still, it's a fast car. I don't believe he ran a 7.0x. I could be wrong, but I didn't hear about it and I'm sure I would. Turbo cars are great at half track and beyond. Who cares about the fastest 1/8 mile when that's only half way to the finish line.

That's probably true. Dan Millen still holds the record for a 10.5" (W) tire however. I think the FFW S/O has turbo size restrictions which will hold Dan back from running that fast.

yes FFW limits the turbo to 91.5 mm, Millen made that 7.17 pass with a 106 or something.

Yep, you're right Rick. The 7.17 pass was with a PT-106. He runs 7.40's with the smaller turbo.
