Finally in the 8's (Video inside)

I received my NHRA liscense and decided to do some testing. I am pleased with how it is comming along and there is a lot more in it! Here is a short video of my run. http://www.rhodescustomauto.com/blackdeath851.mpg

Thanks guys!
Unfortunately it is not street driven, I had to make that sacrifice.
That run was the best of the day. I am running the M/T drag radial. The 60' on that run was a 1.31, all Spohn equipment with a Wolfe sway bar.
