Johns' car rolled through the beams before the tree came down. Bales then ran the quickest run in Super Stock at this event and probably the quickest ever.



How fast did John G go in his Buick?? Also the AM car went seven something. Tom

If I remember correctly, John Gallina's best was a 7.96. A couple of years ago, at the Dutch Classic, Scott Gove's SS/AM, if I remember correctly, ran a 7.93.

Thanks guys!

Here is a video of the 7.92 pass.



Also, it appears that Lewis Bloom "stat guy" confirmed that this pass was indeed the quickest in Super Stock history. Pretty cool!!!

I can't even figure what kind of car that is?

The fact he went a 7.92 on a 7.91 dial in itself in unreal. Also with a 1.24 60' assuming that was the front wheels tripping the clock? It will go even quicker!... Man that looks like a ride, need a in car video...It really looks great and stock "appearing" Even has the third brake light! Great job! Congrats!

We were pitted a few trailers down from them in Indy and I got to see this thing first hand and let me tell you it is top notch and a piece of art work......of course everything Mike Roth at MR2 does is. Congrats to their team, and Im sure there is much more left.

Totally impressive! You make running a turbo car look easy. I'm just curious as to the drivetrain you're using. Since Honda uses great engineering to make their parts super light, I wouldn't think they would have the strength to do what you're asking of them. And, if it's not a trade secret, what size slicks are you running?
