Only got to make 2 passes. We ran a baseline pass with the 750, then swapped on the 950 (off Tim's Challenger, with zero tuning, still has the stock jets in it) and it ran slightly faster then the well tuned 750, with a worse 60 foot time (track was getting cold and the street tire guys were tearing up the starting line). It also didn't seem to run out of steam at the 1000 foot mark like it does with the 750. It was running a bit lean too, which I knew even before we checked the plugs as the temp spiked. We were hoping to make a couple more passes after tuning it but there were a ton of oildowns last night.

Dang!
I hope he is okay.
How bad did it hurt the car?
Was there a shield or blanket? If so what brand and how well did it work.
Thanks! Bill Driver is okay. The car got a dent and is missing some paint on the passenger side. Guy said the slicks were brand new and shrapnel sliced the driver side one and ruined it. I don't know if he was running a shield or blanket or what kind of drum was in it.
