Default new best with my turd

i had a good time at the shoot out and ran my new best
60 1.525
1/8 6.705 @ 104.95
1/4 10.51 @ 125.32

the car would have been faster but i hit the breaks about 100 ft from the finish line because my drive shaft broke and some how i broke the starter off the block, and took some of the block with it so now i have to have it welded up or at least i hope it can be. All in all im happy, i drove the car 8 hours one way ran my new best and had a good time

See, first you said you would be happy with 10.90s and now you are on the way to 9s

How the heck did the driveshaft take the starter off?

Congrats on the new best. I saw your car hanging on the edge of the trailer on Sunday. You have a bluecat sticker in the back glass? I was wanting to come say hi, but never saw anyone by the car.
