Spiro Pappas
Spiro Pappas in a 69 Camaro single turbo 10.5 car. First 2 passes are only partial runs. In the first pass he shuts it off at half track and coasts faster than I run the 1/4 mile in. Last pass is under full power. Check out the distance of the front end travel in all 3 runs.

Spiro was the first into the 8's on an 8" tire back in the 90's.

Re: Spiro Pappas
His new car has a Chemi in it with twin turbos. Nick Scavo will be driving it while Spiro drives the old one.

Re: Spiro Pappas
He crashed the older twin turbo one. He's in the other lane and you can see the chute straps break just as he crosses the finish line.

Re: Spiro Pappas
The older one is the single turbo car and that is the one that he crashed but has since been fixed. The twin turbo car is the new car. Same paint scheme.
