Enjoyed seeing a Nissan GTR run a 10.99 at 132 MPH!
Kyle, have you ever done anything to the engine in your Formula or is it 'as found' ?
It sure looks good.

Greg, the engine in my Formula is basically "as found". I did have to replace the valley pan but the heads have never been off. It has just over 68K miles. Forgot to add that I did put the car on the scales. It weighed 4030 lbs. without me and 4180 with me behind the wheel.

So you're telling us you actually weigh 150 pounds?

Move over kid, and let a grownup drive.

:-)

(great to see you are driving that SD like it was meant to be driven)

Well I weigh more like 155 pounds. Have never been over 165. Guess I am blessed with a good metabolism.
