Come to think of it I guess MM is the only 9 second LS1 manual transmission forced induction car, only other one i know of is Jim's from Speed inc but he is an LT1..

Alot of these cars also particapate in Drag Week which is 1500 miles so your 1300 mile trip isnt that impressive.
I would be VERY suprised if your untested M6 car runs 9's. I've seen MM's combo make alot of passes and its not as easy as you may think to get all that power down the track.
With all that said show up and try to win the most legit 10 second street car jacket.You still need a 5pt bar for that.
I'll see you there we are bringing 2 LS1 nitrous cars that will be ready to run low 9's or so

If you think it's because of M6 why is the viper running in the 7's? Maybe it is going to be hard. I will know more this weekend. I am going to try Memphis Saturday but it's a good chance of rain. I will try local track sunday it is supose to be nice that day.
My guess is it will run 11.2-10.8 .... Good Luck

Heffner is bringing 1 of his 7 second monsters ... we will see if he can keep it together on pump gas
yeah guys I have a really good camcorder I can't wait. This will be alot of fun. The viper I have seen still is 6speed. You can see rubber between shifts. Don't know if it is the same.

I wonder if the Hinson LSx/RX-7 car will be there.
Last year I believe it had a 408ci setup with twin turbos in a 3300lb Mazda 3rd gen RX-7 (black). It was running low 9's on pump gas I believe with a glide and solid axle out back. This year if they have it... they wanted to run the new LSx block with lots of cubes and twin turbos again.

He didnt apply or get invited one of the 2 because hi is not on the list.
He ran an 8.84 (letting off) in quailifing last year
But he slept on the tree and got beat by a slower car in the 1st round.
By some guy they call the turbo killer 
Hison's car is badass! I think he mad the fastest pass at drag week 8.2x
