They don't call him "Big Dog" for nothing!

For some reason I didn't get video of his F.A.S.T. record setting run (10.3 @ 1330, but below is a link a video I took of a 10.7x pass...on his 10.3x pass we were standing at the line, and he spun & the car wiggled, and I actually thought he was gonna lift, but he went ahead and drove it out, and it was a record run!

Even considered an L89, but we are going to stick with a L72. The challenge of getting an iron headed car in the 10's is exciting.

Here is our Camaro Rob. Pump gas 468 Stock suspension, DOT tires, mufflers and 3.73's. We just have to get it to run on the GYs.
