I got a video of some racing from saturday(July 3rd). At a local drag strip they had "The ultimate street wars". I won 3 out of 4 races. One of my races is on here. I am racing against a white 5.0 vert with a cobra R hood. I also rode in the fastest stang of my life. His best time of the night was a 6.16@126 MPH.... his time with me in the car was a 6.26@124 MPH... Track conditions were terrible. Oh ya all this was on a 1/8 mile.

damn that black fox burnout lasted forever! my favorite car in that video was def. the sn95 turbo stang. sounded mean as hell and ran low 6's. looks to me like u were running 9.77. That about right?

You might recognize him he won the World Ford Challenge 7 Wild street. His best run down in St. Louis was a [email protected] MPH and his 1/8 mile time in St Louis was 5.30@137MPH. Dynod at 1100 RWHP. I almost crapped my pants when he took me for a ride(the in car vid) I couldnt even hold the camera. Yes i was running 9.7s all day. What sucks is the weekend before i was running 9.4s. track temp was around 180 degrees so traction was terrible.

A lot of it has to do with the track. For one they drench the track in VHT, so its like starting on standing water. No one was running thier times compared to another local track who does a little better job of prepping the track. In the video If you notice me (the green stang racing the white 5.0 vert)going into second gear i murdered the tires out of the hole and going into second that is with Nitto 555R extreme drag radials, and HP motorsport Mega bite Jrs. I guess im making excuses huh? ill shut up now.
