Default 7.49 at 197.99 mph
Did anyone go to Etown this weekend we had a few cars from our shop running there.

our super street outlaw car running a 29x10.5 and a 106 mm turbo went 7.49 198 mph.

we also had ray johnsons 10.5 car there that was running in the 180's

great time at the event.

if lynch went a .60 again it would have been a race...lol Leo had no choice but to guess and take a chance on the tree and he knocked it right down.. What do they say you cant get any better light then .014 without guessing. He did a great job but thats why he is leo.
