I remember seeing that pic, it was a black Fox don't remember if it was a notch or hatch, but it lifted all 4 wheels off the ground. I was like WTF??? I am assuming it squatted soo hard, it slammed the bumper and lifted. That MPH is just insane. Does he have a website or something? I want to read about his setup. That is soo badass!!! -KEVIN-

Nah, no website. I talked to him at FFW Orlando for a little. 342 cube small block Ford, single turbo backed with a power glide. He's making around 1000 rwhp. Stock suspension car also. It's a black 89 notchback. On that pass where he stood it on the bumper. he actually stayed in it and ran a 9.3. He has even gone 9.8's with his old combo on 17" drag radials a few years ago.

He says he went a 1.53 short time on that pass, 3.719 to the 330 and 5.45 @ 142 to the 1/8.

I've got a copy of the 8.19 pass, I just need to figure out how to post it.

Couldn't find a pic of the bumper stand just yet. But I did find a video of his 8.19 run.

Fords stink...... The name really means f#cked on race day, That is what ford company meant when the came up with the name.

Just to clarify, he wasn't resting on the bumper, he stood it on the bumper, as in both rear tires are off the ground.

Which makes me chuckle every time I hear someone bitching about spinning on DR's.
