Here is Kenny's 9.89 @ 140+ MPH run, the board says 9.69, but some of the lights are out on it, the time slip has the correct ET at 9.89.

Did you ever notice how Cartek has dozens of super fast customer cars in stead of just one fast ‘shop car’.
I think that seas a lot about a shop.


god bless....
