matberry - February 12th, 2011 at 08:20 AM

Good luck on the 13 somthng Frosty.

Anyone else going, have fun.:yes:

dangerous - February 12th, 2011 at 07:48 PM

Tom went 12.5@110mph!

dangerous - February 12th, 2011 at 08:18 PM

...and another 12.5@109.5

Dasdubber - February 12th, 2011 at 09:05 PM

Fantastic, I bet Tom is wrapped. Hopefully Frosty is having some success too. I saw him heading north with the beetle on the trailer this arvo when I was on my home from work - would have loved to shoot up but had to spend some family time at home.
Knowing Tom, I'm sure its only a matter of time before we have some youtube footage of his passes!

Great night by the looks Tom. Those 60's are getting better, but don't think your engine liked the 195 mains(??).

Don't beat your self up Frosty for a NA 1776 it goes pretty hard. Maybe some more head work?
