Ok...thats a fair statement.......I wasn't sure if his car was N/A or Turbo....thats why I asked......As far as I know that time would put him on top as the fastest BA N/A in the country. I hope he has a video of it. Would love to see it. And the 60 foot time was a ripper.

thaks Guys
i carnt belive it myself

when i went through the time traps i had my helmet on the steering wheel looking up at the clocks & saw ??.62 & thought it was a 13.62 & was very disapointed as i was out for a 12 so i went straight around & didnt bother getting the time ticket, on the next run i watched the clock again & this time i saw the ??.94 just as Mark rang me to let me know it was a 12.94 & to go & get the ticket

it wasnt untill i was compareing 60' times that i looked at the previous time ticket to reveal the ??.62 was infact a 12.62 @ 110.71 Mph & you can just imagine the look on my face

when i saw it

Congrat's Rod, that's awesome. Looks like I really need to get out there and try mine out.

LOL....I bet when you saw the ticket of the 12.62, you had to pick your jaw up off the ground.....please tell me you have it on video. It would be a good show for all the FF members.

Thats a bummer rod..........would have been a good one for the FF archives or one of the BA club sites.

Make sure you get a mate to take one next time, you may topple that time in future runs.
