Thanks for the video Cobra, traction was really bad on Pontiac day, too many street tire cars is my guess, the best 60' for the GTO that day was 1.68 or worse.

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

Not sure of the exact details but I know it's a Cartek forged/built 346, Cartek heads and cam with an STS/Cartek rear mounted turbo, front mount intercooler, Cartek tuning. Stock independent rear/gears with a Harrop cover, full weight/full interior and all this on M/T ET Drag Radials.
