Default Mark Carlyle 7.75@183MPH

I went to Milan Dragway's heads up event last night and saw Mark Carlyle go 7.75@183MPH during Qualifying. That car looked smooth going down the track!

I left before the finals, who did you race in the final? Also do you plan on running at The Heads Up Event all season?

I raced JR (I think that is his name) in the finals... Green and white really fast Mustang. He won, but he had me covered by a lot.

I am going to try to run the series... we will see how it pans out.

You should post what it is you're talking about (what car? specs?) so those non-name droppers know what you're talking about.
