9.68 @ 141, with a 1.54 60'. On pump gas, with a generic off-the-shelf tune in it. Still has stock exhaust and no motor work. It MPHed more with the good gas in it, but I ran out and had to put 93 in it. I'll be at the 2WheelSpeed event this Saturday and Sunday racing in the Super Stock 9.50 class.

You didnt miss much - i did lots of spinning and thats about it. Bretts car was spinning too, and it'll usually hook in the mud. It was to damp out when we got there I think, my helmet was actually wet too...
