My quest for a 9, I failed.

Sounds like some nice passes to me. True car guys are always driven towards a “new best”. Sixty foot, 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile, etc and it keeps us from being bored. New bests took over going rounds and winning racers years ago. Not sure why but it did. I kinda found a semi budget “happy zone” running 6.0’s and 1.25-1.27 sixty foot times. The new engine won’t be as fast as my 422 but it will give me time to consider building it better for some New Bests. Lol
