Torkman15 does me proud: 10.37 at 133 M6 My good friend took his SS out for a spin last night at Stanton while I was sitting on my **** watching the Tosto brothers. Luckily, he has a recorder for PINKS. Anyways, my old H/C (hydraulic, stock lifters, stock shortblock - other than LPE putting rod bolts in for him), did him well...10.37 at 133 through the exhaust rowing his M6, with no power shifting...keep telling him to try. Full cage, two seats, stock carpet, console, etc.
Not bad! Looks good on launch. Tom's going to try to hammer on it and "accidentally" blow it up so he can tell his wife he needs a new motor...he's got 9's on the brain.
If this picture does not show, then, if someone can host it.
Good job, Tom, and everyone, including Tom, have fun up at Milan this weekend! Take care. Dave
PS: Sorry for a crappy compressed pic of the timeslips (left lane).

Congrat!
That is impressive times for a M6 car!
What is his race weight and Mods?
I could not make out the time slips, could you type in the #’s?

I'm back in Texas now, so, we talk like schoolkids all the time, but I don't see him or the car as of late. Either way, it's running well for a "mild" motor.
On those two runs, 24 minutes apart, air was 67F & 66F, RH 62% & 63%, and the station pressure was 29.85", wind was a direct crosswind. Incrementals were:
1.472 / 1.452 60'
4.297 / 4.280 330'
6.647 / 6.636 660'
104.73 / 104.15 mph
8.670 / 8.672 1000'
10.372 / 10.384 1320'
132.90 / 131.92 mph
He ran last week at Milan and went 134 mph at 10.40, so, it's pulling well on the big end. Take care. Dave
