Agreed, regardless of the weight, impressive!

Just going by the 10.0 index which would be FS/B. In factory showdown trim the 2.9 Whipple cars have to weight 3550. Chris's car now sports a 25.5 cage so he can start dipping below the 8.50 range.

These things are rockets for sure!!! Impressive!!

Isn't 161 on a 9 inch tire kind of pushing it? Wow can't image being the slow stocker and having that thing flying up behind you.

Wow! That is flying!

Well, his first pass in testing there went "only" 8.48 at 160.11 mph...yeah, I'd believe it. Pull all the extra weight out, and, whew...

They run well over 200 on 10" tires, so that shouldn't be an issue. But I agree, it would be uncomfortable on the top end if you are the slow car.

Nice run, but I am 100 times more impressed with Jonathan Womack's 8.54 at Gainsville with less cubic inches and no blower.
