Congrats on the new LT1 record Joe, the car was impressive tonight for the conditions. The car sounded sweet going thru the traps.
For a Wensday night, MIR was packed with fast cars. They said it was a record car count for the "War On Wheels" event !

Congrats Joe.

Looking forward to see you and your car again, and hopefully put down something other than just records.

the 54 earlier this year was below 1000' have to check my slip but I think around 700-800'... oh yeah!!! shes got alot more than a .52 for sure.. just taking my time It went a 9.57 off the trailer at 2974' when i first got there @141.7 1.377 60 ft.. Just got to keep that front end down and going out instead of up... I never would have stuck the brake thats for sure
