    Thanks to MaverickMatt (Matt Williams) for shooting and posting this video footage from the roundup!!

    This is a clip of my car on the juice, 1.42 60' ,6.45 1/8th mile.........I ran out of gear at the 1/8th mile and still coasted thru the 1/4 @ 11.7.....

    Before anyone asks, yes I did hit the rev limiter and the smoke is from too much fluid in the tranny, it overflowed and got on the exhaust.....

    You must right click on the link and save it to your computer!!
