    watched to gtps pull 14.4/14.2's all day. normal times.. not sure if modded, they were very quiet must of had stock exhaust.
    what I was confused with was a g8 gt pulling 15.4/15.6 I walked by it a few times while walking the pits and looked clean and nothing wrong with it.
    so wth?

    Not every goes WOT all the time. Considering I can run 13.2 stock, he clearly wasn't giving it all he could.

    It's an automatic. They are not that hard to run down the drag strip.

    at a huge event? funny cars, jet cars etc.. you had to pay huge money to race, so doubting he paid that much to practice.

    Has to be driver mod.

    For whatever reason that he went slower to be dialed in at a lower time... he would be ****ing himself.

    Oh and I'm surprised that camo is still here... and his attitude hasn't changed a bit.

    And smile it's Blacktooth Grin!
