7.76 1/8 was my best time, in a practice run the pvc pipe that im using for a charge pipe got too hot and blew out, a friend of mine that was there redneck engineered a patch using medical tape, a pop can, and a couple of hose clamps, it held and the old car was working pretty good on the radial tires, it actually never slipped a tire. the worst problem i had was i kept throwing belts, and we were getting hot lapped, so i was fun working around an exaust system that had just been 1400 degrees 2 minutes ago, all in all i had an absolute blast, and can't wait for the next one. 8)

about 15 miles doc, if you'd turned right on highway 60 it's about a 15 minute drive

i wish you'd been there doc, but family is far more important, maybe sometime in the future, btw, how long does it take to make that drive?
