An 8.74 won it and the runner up was in the 8.9 range. Suprisingly enough they were both turbocharged Mustangs. One was a mod motor and the other had a blow thru carb setup.
A couple of old school cars showed up like OJ's 67 Camaro and a supercharged 66-67 Chevelle but neither one got a clean pass. Kenny Tran was there but never got a clean pass either, he's gone 8.5s before in a FWD Honda.

As far as i know the TSP C6 was having fuel pump problems, i never saw it run but i did see they're mustang run it was pretty fast, there was a brand new C6 Z06 there and on his second or third run he dropped the ****** tranny!!! That was ****** nuts! It was brand new. I ran my car the best i could pull off was a 13.22, not bad i guess.

lucky they didnt get hurt..... there were chucks of the pressure plate tucked up well under his dash
