The car is bad *** And that 8.74 pass was on a very soft launch. Looked like Kurt just rolled into it and then stabbed it. Nice driving BTW Kurt. The car was struggling for traction on the big end all day.

Very nice ride, I drooled all over myself when I saw the intercooler set up. I agree with Todd the car on the 8.74 pass had a very soft launch and still went that fast. Nice talking to you guys yesterday also, hope you make it back for the spring club event. I also agree with Dave, that lic.plate frame is cool.

422 SS, the car always commands my full attention. We think we can make it alot better as we test it. I think its the combo of the 10.5 28 tire and the high car weight. We could always turn the power way down....NOT
