I gotta say, this may be the biggest crowd I can recall at this show. Even the stands have a good crowd watching the racing.

Congratulations to everybody involved with the Boss Bird, unbelievable run. With that speed it still had to be running on all 8 at the finish. Looks like you have the tune-up down pat.

Amazing run. Sounds like they have the tune up worked out. Does anyone know what their previous best was?

We sacrificed a few pistons for a good cause! 😀
Fresh engine getting swapped in now, so we'll be ready to go again tomorrow.

Cooper is the red pro-mod style firebird.

Cooper wins today’s Frantic 4 with a 6.90 to Butler’s 6.97. They said Cooper dropped the chutes a little early.
