I believe at brainerd I ran 12.226 @ 106, and at the rock I ran 12.225 @ 113. I havent found pics yet but according to a few people there I lifted the left front tire about 8".

well i'v got one, i pulled out of a gas station onto a 2 lane 50 mph road right behind a late model mustang gt, he waited for me to pull out then took off. i kept the jav right on his ass as we went to about 80 then had to stop for a light. ahead of the light was a bridge that went accross the interstate, i was ready for him to blast off when the light changed but when it did he just took off slow
