My friend Andy, who was working the EMT in the ambulance at the head of the return road said he could always hear me coming. There was something cool about yesterday. All the big hitters were drooling on my Mopar.
I made a new friend. His name is Art. Art has a bad ass '67 Chevele w/427 and he wanted to race me. I laughed, but then thought why not? Art has a mid 9's hot rod, but I treed him and held the lead for just short of the 330' mark. Maybe well short, but it was a gas and Art went nuts on how close I stuck to him.

| I am making it my goal right now to do more track days with you next year Tom. Since my hours will be calmed down and I can haul my laptop with me if I am on call I don't have any reason not to go. _________________ Crystal Speed never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary, that's what gets you. |

| That is seriously fast nice work. I haven't been to GLD since I was a member of the "Herd" and had my '96 Impala there. I remember watching the 10 second cars very explosive!
Congrats on the run awesome that you've got a video. |

| Thanks everyone. I stage deep on the .400 pro tree, so I am giving up a little mph. I don't get that extra 6" rolling start. Believe it or not, it does make a difference. |

| Tom have you weighed the car lately? I can't remember how much weight shaving you have done.
Just wondering something... _________________ Crystal Speed never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary, that's what gets you. |

Thanks. When I run frame by frame in one of the vids I think I can see a shadow under my front tire at the apex of the launch. Very close to carrying the front end. I need a shorter spring in the front and some solid motor mounts and it will lift. |
