Either that was one hell of a 60' or he was lifting/lost traction on big end.

Roger!
Abel didn't have the car on kill for that run. The car hooked a 1.00 60ft so the ET was going to be a great run. The reason why he didn't come back out was because he believes there is a broken side seal. He's been having problems with the two step breaking the side seals and turbo with the new setup in the RX-8.

Congrats to Abel, at least he's getting the car running in the 6's. Now all he's gotta do is stop breakage, be consistant, and start winning races.

yes Abel did break after that pass, he better step up his game because for qualifying he ran like a mid 8 and barely made it for pro class, so he is not being consistent, if he dont step up he will be playing around with his sponsorship

Just do it luiml73 doooo it!!!

That's an awesome time to run, especially considering he's still sorting out issues and that's his first real fast trip down the strip! Let's just wait and see how fast and consistant he can get this beast going.

Very sorry to hear about Ken's accident - but he's ok so that's good news.
