Default Mark Carlyle runs 7.89 on Driveshaft Shop parts





We would like to congradulate Mark on what many said could not be done.



JE Pistons LSX Drag Radial, Mark Carlyle has been trying to get his super-clean Corvette in the seven-second zone and Sunday he was able to do it, running a cool 7.89 at 180 mph. That pass meant Carlyle is the owner of the quickest IRS Corvette in the country. Carlyle won the last event in Bradenton when Mike Meeks had a leak on the starting line. He’s set to face Ray Litz in round one today, if can win, that will put him in the final once again. On the other side of the ladder, Meeks will take on Steve Fereday for the trip to the finals

Incredible car!!! Driveshaft shop makes some killer parts too.... p.s... why do you rate the big axles (half shafts) at 1000 hp for the vette....? Everyone knows they can take way more than that... ha ha

Wow! It looks like Mark's car is almost as fast as Atomic Fusions!

Talk about moving the bar! I've got that centerfold pic from my favorite magazine. What a wicked machine!
