Two passes >> http://youtu.be/cfE5CcE987g

http://youtu.be/QDieAl6hnZE In both vids I popped the fuel pump fuse in forth. Stepped up to a 25 amp fuse and cut a 9.9 @139 The first launch in the vids was a 1.3 60ft No longer budget friendly, upgraded block and turbocharger setup. not bad for a midpack grm concourse finisher. cheers

Dang, that first pic looks like the tire is rubbing on the fender when it squats. I can't even wrap my head around what a 1.3 60 foot feels like.

Nine second E.T.s in an unassuming econobox make me smile.

Very nice. Where is that track? I don't often see drag strips allow people to lean on the wall.

That thing is a weapon, I watched it do a 1/4 run from the next lane.

I almost lost sight of it.

Damn....That makes me want to get another one. Well done.

Are you using DSM gear to get it done or Evo Gear?

DSM vs EVO shootout? Local guy had a white EVO there, ran low 10s with a stock weight car.

Probably Buschur's yearly DSM shootout. Something tells me the westside boys are frequent customers there...right JP? Whatever happened to the motor out of that purple mirage anyhow?

That car runs/drives I see it out in Indy a lot. It is a Colt body. I won't quote times as I don't remember for sure, but I think it was a 10 or 11.
