A great Day for Ron Fleming. Ran his first 9-second ET in Super Street, and won the event. So, the one year old pony tail was cut off on the starting line. Awesome.

Cool! So, pony tail = 9 secs. Does a beard = 8 secs? Cheesy

I told Ron that we need to keep that pony tail to clone him in the future...


Or, put it up on e-bay!

Or, put in the Schley Museum

I just saw the stats on the trans. Is that right 3.44 first and 3.55 second? I never noticed a higher second gear before, do alot of high power cars do that? I need to go back and look at some hold Hot VW's.

That is likely meant to read 2.25 second gear and 4.57 ring and pinion.

But there is no way that thing has a 1.09 high gear....even the 1.44 is likely much lower than that!
