Mark, your car impressed the hell outta me yesterday, mid 9s at over 138 with a hydraulic cam and a semi restrictive factory intake manifold and it's not even done yet, still a little more in it, awesome. 
It took months of persuasion and trying but yes ya finally got into Rick's pants.

Thanks for the props guys!
Funny part of yesterday, besides me screwing up the final, was the Etown staff getting all pissed off because I didn't have the gear or a liscence to run those #'s.
First the guy at the booth tells me I need fire pants and gloves, guess my jeans weren't good enough,hehe.
Then another guy under the tower tells me I need a neck brace.
Then after another 9 sec pass, this pass was on a 1.29 60' an Etown truck actually cuts me off going down the return road and comes and asks me if I have a liscence. I said no and he just shook his head and walked away.
Then as if that wasn't enough another guy tracks me down in the pits and demands to see my tech card. He said and I quote "who the f*ck teched you in?? AHHH sh*t is was ME" hahaha
I told the guy that the staff keeps telling me to get more gear, which I did everything they said but you guys keep getting mad at me, haha.
Just tell me I can't race, no big deal, I understand. It all worked out in the end, they were pretty cool about the whole thing after Barry and I spoke with them.

Congrats Mark! That is amazing for a N/A setup!!! That's almost as fast as I went on a 300 shot of nitrous! Man if you put a little spray on that motor you would FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good job Mark/Cartek!
