I thought the same thing. The announcers voice sounded funny. That car is clean and made a great looking pass.

Josh Kreyer built the cage...I did the interior myself...although I hate cutting carpet...the rear seat is factory...the front seats are Sparco Evo L's...all are custom covered with the "Firehawk" emblem to match by a local shop.

SWEET. Your car leaves real well. What were your trans temps after staging? Sounded like you were just laying on the converter during the burnout.
