    Here's a video of my Maverick from a few weeks ago at Fontana. I barely lost, but it's my best MPH to date. It's at about 3:10 into the video.

    8.7's at 161mph, you got yourself one heck of a car, that's insane. Congrats.

    Thanks! I have 28x9" ET Street DOT slicks. Pretty crappy tire, but the car is street legal. I'm going to switch to 28x10" ET Drag slicks after I move the leaf springs in and mini-tub it. Then I have to upgrade the cage cause its only good to 8.50.
