My car was run in the 1/8th mile Rusty Bridges event in Brainerd TN on 5/28/11. My brother drove the car for a total of 4 official passes. The average time was around 7.5xx but he went anywhere from 7.21 to 7.91. I dont have a slip or video so dont ask. It was a charity event and they were not giving out time slips to anyone.

We spent most of the day in 1st place but got beat by a TT Supra (claiming 600 whp) towards the end of the day. My brother was ahead of the Supra at the half way point and still lost. Yes, hard to believe. We ended up 2nd overall in the imports.

The car was pretty much unbeatable out of the hole and even beat the car we lost to on the start. The car was a MONSTER in 1st gear but 2nd and 3rd seemed mediocre. I was only running 9lbs psi and dont have a boost controller (yet).

P.S. Before you ridicule me for not driving, know that I am disabled and am blind in one eye (I was hit by a drunk driver in 2007 = 7 months in the hospital). Also, I believe 1/4 mile would be better for my car, so that the turbos can spool up further.
