Well, after going 10.32 @ 141 at ATCO ...ONLY 3 Weeks ago, we took apart the engine, vinny ten re-built a BEAST, with George Ioannou tuning, Andrew Rubio Driving, the whole crew helping, and me screaming like a high school cheerleader andrew ran a....

8.903 in his first round..

MPH 126.42
1000 7.508
1/4 8.903

this was against a SUPRA.... and we WON , well ran better it was only for qualifing, they ran a 10.0 @ 136 MPH.....

in the second round we had a small fuel pump problem, not to worry we had sunday to run again
