Not TM, and not really that relevant, but I found it pretty interesting.

There's a local family here that's run the most reputable repair shop for as long as I can remember. Anyways, they've been drag racing this 87 Trans Am for a few years now, and just had a new engine built for it.

This weekend at the races in Boise, Idaho, in qualifying, they ran an 8.62 @ 156, which beats the old class record of 8.66. Pretty impressive for the local guys with an untested engine.

Their next race is here in Mission on June 2-4, in case anyone local wants to check it out. Mission is supposed to be a fast track as well, so could be exciting.

Anyways, I don't follow this much, it was just in the local paper, but I found it interesting.
