This was at BIR of all places haha, The first run the told me I need to slow down since I dont have a cage. So I was just working on launches, screwing pretty much every one up, and just driving like I was cruising somewhere the rest of the track, 2nd to last pass I went for it, missed 2nd ran through the gears, and hit the brakes at the 1/8th mile, they waved me back in and said the owner said if I keep it out of the 10's they'll let me run. I told them I was going to give it one last shot and thats when I ran this, they just gave me the thumbs up when I passed by them at the end of the track

Yes sir! I'm going to work on some 1.6 60' and that'll get me over the 145mph mark probably. we'll see where the rest takes me!
