Low 9's ???? Last i remember. his PB was approx a 10.6sec 1/4, or maybe it was a 10.3sec pass. Has he run quicker in the last 6 months? If so, do u know what he ran and at what mph ?
Yeah, i also read the article where he said he has gotten a gearbox change down-pat in around one and a half to two hours. The wreckers he get's his boxes from are 3 doors up from my work, they told me that he buys 5 speeds like packets of Winnie Blues. And smokes 'em just as fast hehehe |

He has a sort of unwritten contract mates rates kinda thing there, he pays 50 clams per box. He only works like 10 mins walk from the wreckers he gets them from. Not even 2 min's drive up da street. |
