Default SPEED INC. @ drag week
Dan and Jim started drag week today at Cordova drag way the results were

8.7 @ 161 MPH!!!!!
this was only at 20 psi

not bad for a car that was driven 3 hours to the track with the slicks in the back seat.

the next step is great lakes dragway in union grove, WI this will be tomorrow (tue, sep 11th) so come out and watch the car run.

so far so good! the guys are having fun and the car is running well.

check back tomorrow for new results!
