I was refering to Marc. I just installed a clutch in his car.

Atco SUCKED last night. We got there at about 7 and didnt run until 1030. One person crashed and 2 people oiled down the track. On our only pass it went 10.48 at 137.3 with a 1.65 60 foot.

Atco did suck! last night!!! i didnt stay late...my last run was right after the 1st oil down. I couldnt get any traction the whole day! and on the last run at the 1000ft mark the tires broke loose had to let off....It was a frustrating night. Just bought a line lock kit this morning! not going to the track again till the 26th I came over to talk to you fran but you were swarmed with people....next time....
