Turns out the 9.95-129 that Derek Mueller and his small block Mopar powered, aluminum bodied Land Cruiser ran on Monday, was going to be the highlight of his 2016 Drag Week effort. Shortly after leaving Columbus they ran into valve train issues that would plague them for the remainder of the trip. Thanks to the concerted effort of many other Drag Weekers, they were able to limp it into Norwalk, and he managed a 7 cylinder, no nitrous 12.32-107.5 to keep his hopes of finishing intact, although the road ahead looked bleak.
