That ZR1 was sick but he couldn't get the launch down. One run he missed 3rd and 4th and would shoot 10-20 foot flames out the back.

Car was insane for sure.. My favorite might have been the GT-R running a 9.99

No it was my GTR fastest stock turbo GTR and backed it up with a second 9 second run. Cranberrys car is way faster as it broke a record at MIR two weeks ago for a stock frame turbo upgrade! Thanks again for a great rental and look forword to the next

Drag radials. Traction with street tires when its in the 40's is very touch and go and the right lane was getting tore up pretty good too.

That SRT8 Jeep ran 9.80,9.70 then a 9.60@146 but snapped an axle the last pass I believe. It was so quiet with those turbos on it.

Anyone know the combo on the azure blue mach 1, and what it ran? What about the red 5.0 mustang, and the shelbys?
