Been 3 years since I took the Valiant out. I cleaned it up and put my Japanese coworker in the passenger seat for the 2nd pass. Launched it on the trans break, did a wheelie. He loved it. I told him it's my slow car lmao. I was in the lanes when he got there, so he never heard it till he was strapped in lmfao.

LOL, that's awesome! I'm surprised they let you run w/ a passenger! Doesn't this car run somewhere in the 9s?

Usually 6.0hs been 5.80s. but that's with fresh gas and plugs lol He went 6.23 at 110 lol.

It's breaking up a little from the plugs.

My local track guy watched me strap the little guy in. They knew what he was going to get lmao. .

It darted left but he didn't know. His helmet was looking up lmfao

1.34 sixty lmao. He felt the MoPar Yank !

That's outstanding. laugh2

It's been years since I've done it but Milan used to let us have passengers on track rentals only.

Cool story awesome the track let you take him for a ride. I wish we could do more of that in faster cars. Might stir some interest in what's becoming a dying sport

That is great! Bet his ricer can't suck his eyeballs back in his head. What did he have to say after the run?
