He had gone 8.68 in Medicing Hat, so we went out to mission to try a well prepped track...

well the prep was not there as we had hoped, but he still managed a 8.50 @ 163.7 mph, his 60 foot was almost .15 off his "good hook" launch.

we were hoping for 8.2's...

In this video, his is the blue stang...

Oh my....I couldn't imagine how powerful that car must feel at wide open throttle. It looks like he has a tough time keeping it all on the track. :eek:
