Post by: Island bugs on July 12, 2004, 06:11:57 PM

Geoff -Dave C mentioned something about an aspirated street bug running 11.0's at Mission a while back. Is this true? Who and with what? wayne

No one here, The conversation we had was about a friend of mine in LA. Mark Herbert  (Super shit box) ran a 11.03 @ 117mph NA at Carlsbad during the Classic weekend.
All that with 10.5;1 oh yeah.... it only weighs 1100lbs or something :rolleyes:

Thanks Geoff it sure seemed unlikely that it was here. It always comes down to physics doesn't it. Weight is the enemy until you are sliding on your roof! Wayne
