Default Anyone see the turbo Viper at BMP( 2/9)

There was a sick turbo Viper at BMP today. I only saw it run once and my camcorder battery died just before it ran

Anyway, it ran a 9.77 at 144 It's a bad mamma jamma

Yes I saw it. He actually trapped at 148 on one pass. Another thing that is very very strange about that badass turbo viper big $$$ car......................he tried to run on space saver steel spare tires up front his very first pass.:confused:
You would think a turbo Viper could afford some skinnies up front.
The guy at the line caught it and made him back off the start line. Can you imagine space saver spares at 150 mph

Didn't this guy run nitrous on top of turbo? That's what someone told me at the track.
