There were 2 miradas in VA. An 81 in O/SA and the 80 in I/SA. According to the announcer, the O is a 318, the I is a 360. Just what I heard,

I told him the only people hating are the ones that can’t go that fast. So you have two choices. Go figure out why yours won’t go that fast or call Allen.
Ed I ain't hating at all, me and Allen are friends I think. Not my combo so carrying on but looking at those weather numbers I'm pretty sure I could've went that fast if I wanted but I wouldn't, just my choice. By the way I don't claim to be real fast but all these hits people are taking I'm getting faster all the time lol.

I wasn’t “trying” to get HP on the combination. I had it weighted down, timing out and other measures trying to run about 1.05-1.10 under, yes I did intend to be number one qualifier because it’s good for business. This was the 9th run ever on the car and it’s been giving us fits. It left extremely lazy and I figured no way it was going fast enough to worry. Unfortunately or fortunately, it seems maybe we fixed the problem we were having in the car and it went faster than I thought. The combination has TONS of untapped potential left so from my standpoint I’m not upset about it because I know we have more left in it, I didn’t intend to ruin it for others or anything like that, but sometimes it happens. Considering it’s been hit with 33hp before I ever touched it I’m definitely not the first one to hit it...lol

Not full tear downs, but they certainly didn’t go without checking some parts...
