The rest of the runs were also pretty damn good!
8.17
8.2?
and one very scary over the centerline with tom taking out the 330 marker and rolling out an interesting 9.03 @ 177 LMAO!!!
 
was his car at reiters last year???? I see the fuel door is shaved.....I remember that....if it was I have some pictures of it too.
 
Tom had the car idling in the lanes and the turbo loaded up with oil a little. This is what burned off at the launch. Scavenge pump is not adequate at idle.

Way to go Tommy!
 
Whats the dude doing hanging out by the rear of the car till the last second? I have always wanted to know what them guys are doing back there!

not only that, but you dont want projectiles in the car if there were some sort of "issue".

Congrats on the new best times, glad to hear the hard work is paying off so well.

Nice work, Stenod, Tom k, etc etc.
