10.78@125mph vs a 170 mph Dragster at etown 8-7.
What a fun night at Etown over 350 cars and lots of quick NHRA Sportsman getting a few time trials in before the big races here at etown this weekend. I got paired up in the pro-tree 4 tenths class with a wild dragster who ran low 8's. He blew out a .419 light in our first round. Thanks to the Vette Drs and a set of new wires and plugs I hit my personal best of 10.78 while nailing a strong 60' time of 1.50 even. I also want to thank Dennis K for getting me in the right lane for my runs on a very busy night at the track.

Just so you know, on the run that you did a 10.9x and spun off the line, it was a result of a bad burnout. Your left wheel never spun at all. Not sure if anyone told you, so I figured I would pass this info on.

I figured something was up with the left side as the rubber on the other side under the wheel well was at least doubled. Thanks for the info it was a fun night. Billy your car is running great now get the MT ETS...

If we got eight ten second cars that were NHRA legal and a sponsor to support the race we could do it. I do have some people interested in sponsoring but I'm waiting for some numbers from the track. It won't be cheep however, you guys deserve a good payday.
