Default 9 sec pass...almost...

Well I ran the TA at Carolina last night. It was a tailwind(a LIGHT tailwind!) away from a 9 sec pass. not bad considering it came up and carried the tires WAY out(destroying my severe duty Spohn torque arm in the process), burned 4 plugs when it left poppoing and spitting down the track. It still ran 136.8MPH on a 125shot. (123.1MPH on motor). We changed the plugs and went for a better pass but they wouldnt let us spray the car again with no cage not to mention the Camaro in front of us ran through the end of the track WIDE OPEN, never hit the brakes,went through the T-Tops!(dont know if he made it or not, but the car was unrecognizable). Try again when the cage and BMR Xtreme duty torque arm is in!
