The car made such violent torque numbers that it twisted the body and we couldn't fit the passenger t-top.


























J/K We forgot it at the shop and had to send someone to get it.

Now that's JUST DAMN! Sounds snotty as *****, and looks like it ain't playin' no games on the hit.

What did the 60' look like? If those are the intial shakedown launches, y'all got a little somethin' workin'!

Nice work Brian and congrats to all involved!

Wow! That thing hauls out of the hole.

I can't believe they let you run w/o a T-Top. I get my ***** busted for not having full length studs on my 12-bolt at the North East tracks, and you can run with no T-Top?

I remember a story a buddy of mine told me; running his WS6 with no t-tops, no helmet, with his GF in the passenger seat at Bowling Green, but his car was only running 12... your car is a BEAST!

LOL Im sure they were a little confused seeing a car that nuts with no t-top on.

I just keep hearing stories about southern tracks not caring too much about safety.

Awesome car!!! regardless of weather it had the t-top on or not

I wish you [Madman] was in NJ so you can figure out why the hell I can't hook anymore LOL
