Mark backed it up today with an 8.75 and an 8.8. may have been more but we left early.

Tony Wedlok debuted the 2j solara today as well. Farkin impressive. Nailed it to just over half track then got out of it and still ran a mid 7. Made a few of the bogans take notice.

On a stranger note, Theo was 1 km away playing dyno queen at the power cruise, I would have thought he wouldnt miss an opportunity to get in some runs this close to the nats.

Mark also ran a 8.74 last run of the day with a 1.304 60ft.

the croydon car that ran 8.55 was on et streets which are a rag type tyre. doesnt really count as a street radial.. correct me if its wrong....

They're still a DOT tyre so it makes them eligible for Keith's list at least.

As much as I don't like it, that's the way the rest of the world classifies a street tyre. Drag your car keys along each of your ET Drags and get on the list yourself with another 8.40!!
