Default Finally got into the 9s with a 9.94 @ 144.43

After running a 10.000 pass at a track rental at Atco. I was itching to get back to the track to see if my car was capable for a 9 second pass. I tried to get in on a couple of rentals and I was either told it was full or I was busy. I had no choice but to attend the last scheduled race weekend at Atco. The DA was -532 when I made my run and I finally ran a 9 second pass with a 9.94 @ 144.43. Thanks to Doug and ECS for getting a good tune to make it possible.

Congrats Artie. I knew you would get your 9 second pass. I promise if I buy Island Dragway you won't get booted.
