Yup that is true but after getting the solid to hook and start getting 1.3x 60 ft's if you run more than 135 out the back door, you will be under 10 unless you missed a gear in there. I make an effort to know the track officials and the racer associations and will have to back off the NOS if I go to fast or too quick. You see guys with DR's and IRS with giant twin screws that fly out the back door at 135+ because their first 330ft is not that great.

it will be a balancing act and might take some trial and error but that 9.99 barrier means a license as well as cutting the firewall for bars going forward and across the dash, which really means it is not a street car anymore, so I drew the line there!
