I ran 150mph!!

We had a big meet on the weekend and I did'nt beat my best time but I finally cracked the 150mph barrier
I ended up with a 10.19@149.9 and a 9.71@150.9 with a 1.77 60 foot
I had my car on the scales and with me in it its 2940lbs.

3rd run I broke a rear drive shaft and the 4th run I broke the transfer case .I need to find stronger components.

"Driveshaft shop rear half shafts - impossible to break, you need those at these power levels."

watch how easy this is without any time slips or other corroborating evidence:


"You guys, check this out, I ran 9.5 seconds in the quarter today!! Thats right folks, I do indeed live my life a quarter-mile at a time! I also trapped a 148mph, a 155mph, and a squirrel on the way home."

You can give me my props now.
