Do you remember what kind of times the little red Topolino ran ?...Thanks for posting the pics........Thanks, Littleman

 

No, but i think 8.3's maybe!! he was launching very good, but the car sounded like it was missing & shifting seemed difficult . I thought the ca ran good.The announcer was saying how "sticks" were having a hard time running today

Jim, was that his 1/8th mile time? or were they running 1/4 mile?........Thanks, Littleman

 

They where running 1/8th, there was a "puddle" one one of the lanes further down from the rain the day before.
