Here are a couple vids. Atco did a very nice job prepping the track. You'll see the 60's come up on the board.

That 60' is incredible Gary. For comparison, the car I was running ran similar times/mph (best 10.06 @ 134) but with a powerglide, 4800 stall, 33" slicks and launching at 4200 RPM off a transbrake and the best 60 we got was a 1.44.

Very impressive driving Sir.

Nice job again Gary!
It sounded like your best run had your slowest 2-3 shift as well. Not that it was slow per se', but maybe wasn't your fastest. That one sounded more deliberate.
If you can 'mitigate' a faster 2-3 in the coming great air, I DO foresee a 9.9x!
And those slicks were HOOKING for you well!

Always fun to watch!

Ron

Thanks Ronnie. Since it was our last pass of the day, I did not wish to chance making a mistake. We have figured a few more things out.
