Default made it to a 1/4 mile track

first and only pass was a 9.72@139 with a 1.34 60'..felt really strong...carried the front wheels 2 1/2 feet high and out past the 60' mark..will be making a few adjustments in the next few weeks and headed back out to see some sub 9.50's @ over 140mph...just want to thank MMS for all the power, without them it couldnt have been possible.
