Default First radial car in the 6's

Conrats to David Hance- he just ran a 6.93 @ 207mph on a 315 radial. First car in history to do that. He spun the tires in high gear, so i would be willing to bet that buy the time half of you read this, he will have gone faster.

Well, he's done for the weekend. Slung a rod through the block on that pass which makes it even crazier- probably would have been in the .80's.

FYI- Just to show you how much a little change can make a HUGE difference- the only thing they changed between yesterday and today was they raised the back of the car 1". They said it got rid of the tire shake and he picked up a full tenth slingin rods. It was the exact same tune.
