Went to Atco today and second pass of the day, the car gets out of the hole like crazy.

Previous best 60' was 1.49

Ripped a 1.44 with a 9 finishing the pass at 11.02


Mark from www.godragracing.com was ther as was Matt (I think) so hopefully later this week, we will see if they caught the picture
