Joseph: that phenomenal. It takes a blower and N2O to get my 4,000lb 'vert down in that range!

But it kinda bugs me to see the times without some details about your setup. Don't be a tease; spill the beans for us.

Joe,KILLER runs yesterday. Was great meeting you.

That car was hanging the tires nicely,and the 9.86 caused everyone that knew you/the car to go WILD when it lit the boards up.

Taner your close I run a 4.11 gear and shift 7400, traps right at 6800-6900...it actaully could go lil more gear but it would be moving around to much in the middle to reap the gain if any..

Yes the video was cool but you should have been there to see it first hand, That was great!
I got a new best that day too but, nowhere near Joe's time.
