...an NHRA National event in a P/SA Stocker that only has 4 spark plugs
![]() Marty can add this year's Indy experience to his list of "firsts" He made his quickest ( so far) NHRA event pass in P/SA with an 11.950 e.t. on Friday to win class eliminations on his 13.45 index. A little history about his car: 2 years ago, his 2.3L Mustang was the first 4 cyl. Stocker racer to ever run in the 11's at an NHRA event ( May 2014--National Open-B.G. KY) [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8g1AG7E9QEU[/ame] He was also the first 4 cyl. racer to make a pass in the 11.50's ( in P/SA trim @ the 2015 Northern Class Nationals ) Then 6 weeks later, he set the N/SA national record with an 11.39 @ the Indy Fall Classic National Open ( I wished I had got video of the run, but I was in the water box behind him when I saw the 11.39 on the time board) [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmxBWsoY5i0[/ame] Well done Marty !

Turbo lag certainly doesn't seem to be a problem.

Thanks for posting this Alan! Thanks to everyone that sent congrats! I am very happy for Jim Parsons getting the number 1 qualifying spot at Indy, so glad to see him back racing after his recovery from cancer! I wish the best to Bob Bender at Charlotte, as he is also a cancer survivor!
