Damn, Vrettos has that thing hauling - I wonder if he has been faster at the rentals - some rumors have been going around about 200mph.

So I looked at what class he was running. Now "Drag Radial" has different rules everywhere but this class was not even a drag radial race.

So as much as those radial guys defend all there rules, will this pass really get the respect it is claiming in the drag radial world?

That's a good point. Let's keep an eye on Yellow Bullet and see what they have to say.

I mean what's to stop Tim Lynch from throwing some DR's on his car, and de-tuning it some just to take the drag radial record?

I was there for that run, man what a night, the quick 8 bump spot was 8:01, certainly worth getting home at 3 in the morning for!

Alex
will get the respect the pass was done in radial trim at over 3600 lbs. That car is really making strides this season congrats to the whole crew.

Alex and Stine have really set the pace in radial here in the North. I will be looking to rain on their parade this week end at Cecil. We just put the Warhawk motor in and the 88's. We know we have the power just need to get the car to work and that takes testing something we are lacking this season. If things go well on the dyno tonight we will be at E-town wensday night to make a few hits.

Time to put the VETTE on top!!!
