I talked to John on his way home from LVD. He sais the Hurst Olds ran multi 12 second runs. Mopar Tony was doing the tuning. John's best of the day was a 12.87 @ over 105 MPH with a 1.86 60ft. Congrats John, your hard work paid off.

Thanks all!!! You all have been a part of this in one way or another. Tony has always been there to push me and to find the answers we needed. I think this combo has a little more in it maybe 12.4-12.6 we will see as the season closes. I will hopefully see all of you in two weeks. I'll be there both Saturday and Sunday. :gears
Jeremy I had to whop up :wink: on Jeff in his H/O but he beat me in our Semi Final Eliminations. We had a great time at our Dead End Boys Rent Day. I ran 10 runs and Jeff ran 18.

Ralph and Sharleen Thanks Again for all you do to make it fun for us. :rock :winner :bow

John
