This picture shows smoke coming off the slicks, so I would guess it was not a good pass, no rev limiters back then (just your right foot). Looks like a 10.90 on the windshield which was probably the NHRA record, which would have been the dial-in back then. The big 23 on the side glass was probably when I came through the gate.

----So you used to run "up the hill" at Quaker City. Love that track but haven't been there in years. Went several years in a row to the "Field of Dreams" nostalgia meet with Red Alert. Always a really great time......Bill S
