9.88 @ 135.9mph
9.88 @ 135.9mph I went to Atco on Saturday and ran a new best of 9.88 @ 135.9 mph. I had a few mishaps also but that's a whole different story. I would like to thank Barry @ QTP for making me a set of custom 1 3/4 Tri Y headers and for all his support along the way. Thanks to Cartek for tuning the car. Thanks to East Side for there help throughout the years and to AMC for the roll cage. {I almost found out how good the cage is on three passes!} I have a few issues to correct before next year, but that's racing. Thanks also to P.J., Erin, Mike, Doug, Mary, Brooklyn Mark and Tom. Your help and support are very much appreciated.
Tommy had called me about 2:30pm on my way home on Saturday. Told me all about it. Wished I stayed but I had to beat the snow that never came that night. 
I heard your runs were sick. 
Well, next year I'll be right there cheering ya on.

thanks guys. The bars are already in the works. Sorry, no videos. Nobody knew I was going Saturday including myself until the last moment. The rear bumper looks like it has the most damage. The oil pan and headers got a bit roughed up and the alignment is out, but doesn't appear to be much more. Looking forward to next season.

Awesome #'s Rick. Time to get those SYA bars out of the trailer and on the car for the next time out! 
That car you built is Bad-***!!!
I'll bet that thing will run a .60 or a .50 when it's all dialed in.
Great work!

Awesome passes Rick, the car was consistently in the 9s on almost every pass and pulls REAL hard up track. 
I was in the lanes when the mishap occurred, wish it hadn't happened
but would've liked to have seen it anyway.
