At the NMCA race in Milan this weekend, I believe he went his career best, by a good bit. A single stage of spray and 10.5s. I won't give the number, somebody else can, but lets just say it was fast for that combo. Good job Eddie. Monte

I was happy to see you got the car back together and now hearing it is running so well is a huge thumbs up "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know."

Maybe I just missed him. Can we please get the time or a link to a video.

Yes, it has an anti roll bar........... 5.13 @ 137mph 1/8 mile 8.02 @ 169 and change 1/4 mile. Plugs are plenty safe. Granted 1.20 is moving but if Ed can get the car to leave like it should, hold on! He had been running .20's and .30's. Thanks to a new tune up from Monte, Bird is on his way to a 7 second pass.....

Mike,if this is the same car that was at Milan for Friday's heads-up a couple of months ago it's doing some crazy stuff from the launch. Chassis needs some tuning
