it's mine. the race I was running that day was only 8th mile, but it was held at the 1/4 mile track, so I made the pass and let off after the 8th. That 8th mile time is the fastest its ever gone, but I've never made a full 1/4 mile pass with it. I'm hoping it will go 10s, but i haven't made a 10 sec pass yet with it.

here's a photo from that day, in case you think it's really not my car's time slip. the car was number 122 that day (compare to the top of the timeslip)

I can assure you, the second that car makes a 10 sec pass, I'll be thrilled and mree than happy to tell everyone about it. Really, I think there's no reason it shouldn't skim high 10's, but like I said, I'll say it's a 10 sec car when I have a 10 sec timeslip.

By the way, that timeslip is a bit misleading (I had forgotten about this when I posted the timeslip) the guy running the race said I had to stage with the back tires (even though I didnt want to) so that time is just a hair faster than the car actually is in the 8th. I was running James and Shelia's Camaro, and I think they're on here, so they can vouch for it.

Anyway, ask anyone who knows me -I don't street race, and I don't run for money- so there's really no reason I'd lie and say my car's slower than it is. Haha, hell, I bust my butt working on it, I'm more than happy to tell people if it's running well!
