00:00 That was a fast pass.
00:07 That was your best pass, right?
00:10 Best pass so far, yeah.
00:11 Ever?
00:12 Ever.
00:13 And how fast was it?
00:14 8.94?
00:15 And I haven't looked at the mile an hour.
00:16 Let's see.
00:17 Let's look at it now.
00:18 157.89.
00:19 What was the 60 foot?
00:20 60 foot.
00:21 143.
00:22 So the car is actually doing the best 60 foot it has.
00:23 Not that that's good, but better than what it has been.
00:24 So it's pretty good.
00:25 So how long have you been driving this car?
00:34 This car with this setup, two years, but this car with a different setup, three years.
00:37 And this is your third drag week?
00:39 Third drag week, yeah.
00:40 So I didn't do the whole junior dragster thing.
00:42 I turned 16, had the car together for two weeks, got together to racetrack once, and
00:46 then I came to drag week within the next week.
00:49 And then now you're running eights?
00:56 Running eights, yeah.
00:57 And so hopefully you'll have the car at 8.50 one day.

01:03 the fast I want to go in this car.
