Yes, my car was marginally quicker than the other stocker. I think he ran a .55 on the same short time as my best pass. I can't remember the guy's name, maybe he'll chime in here.

HOLY *****, I'm sunburned to a crisp. Wayne, I should've taken the sunscreen you were offering. I'm an idiot. Anyway, great meeting everyone. I wish I could've hung out more and met EVERYONE but getting that EL Camino down the track is a two man job.

BTW...best run in that thing was a 9.27@148 mph

She normally runs 8.9x at about 152 but the heat just zapped us.
