Default Record shattered!!!!!

My buddy has a C7 modified by Late Model Racecraft in Houston. An otherwise stock automatic C7 with LMR TT kit. Went 9.39@155 at Royal Purple Raceway today. Unreal, standing next to the car it sounds as stock as they get. 155MPH is nooooo punk. 6.10@122 in the 1/8!!!!!! I can't beleive it. I used to have a drag car where 5.90's was the target ET. We jumped through all kinds of hoops to get there. And here is my buddy bolting on a TT kit and I'd almost there. Video up by tomorrow

He rented the track with like 5 other guys. He will do a write up on it with vids and all in the next day or so. It went 9.7x,9.5x,9.4x, then 9.39. Just like that. Only four passes.
