That is Carlton Thompson from Tallahassee. He is a tranny builder at a local shop. He built that car from a body in white. This was his first 1/4 mile attempt with this new car. (ran the 1/8 a couple times). He use to have a dark blue coupe he ran in the mid 5s 1/8 mile.

The white turbo car is Dan Millen, the other black/multi-color is Tim Lynch. Those two are constantly battling on who's going the fastest/quickest on 10.5s...Millen's gone 7.17, Lynch has gone 7.16.. No picturs of the other Outlaw car that went 7.29 in the heat? Black early 90's coupe owned by Brad Brand, the thing is amazing... The orange car you have wheelstanding is Rod Houck, I believe he was the first to go 8.9x in Street Bandit... Gotta love those G-force 5 spds! Other one you guys probably remember was Chris Little running in Renegade, going 8.56.... WEEEEE!

Yeah Brad Brand's coupe is so sexy. I was too busy taking that snap shot of Millen's wheel stand to take a pic of Brand's car. Looks like Brand's new Liberty set up is working good. Chris Little owned Renegade. I was surprised to se him running Renegade, guess he likes the new rule changes.

Yeah, that's Britt Floyd's car, seems to be coming along nicely..
From what I understand they've limited the turbo's in the Pro class to 101mm with no taper... should be interesting...

I would hate to step in front of that car with that thing spooled. Might get sucked in.
