I didnt win, but
I had a heck of a good time. It was good to put a face to a lot of names, and I'm sure there was more that that I didnt get to meet. Maybe next time. My car got a new best of 10.39 with Dave driving. Thanks to every one that worked so hard to put on such a good show. John.

Re: I didnt win, but (EuG)
Hey Guys Thanks. For those that dont know my car, it is N/A Cartek Darton sleve 427. TPIS TB and Intake. Which did make 28 HP. A Rossler Trans, with a Vig 4000 Con. 3.73 gears. Cartek 1 7/8" headers with Stainless Works 3" exaust. CCW drag set up with ET/Streets. This was the first time that I got to see my own car go down the track, Thanks to Dave at Cartek. Those wheels up launches are pretty spectacular. I cant wait to see some of the videos. Thanks again John.
