Yeah the 9.50 was a good pass, the car seems like it has alot more there but anyone in Houston knows conditions are less than ideal for record breaking. Gives you something to look forward to.

Congrats again on the fast times.

I read on www.hotrodgossip.com that they hurt the motor on the last pass. Something about no oil pressure. Any truth to that?

Never the less, 9.50 is hualin the mail Brother.
