Talked to Tommy, car is fine, just trying to put together a clean pass. Never made any passes on big tires until this weekend (had been running radials).

Boss Bird a little slower today, but made a full pass. 6.32 @ 228mph I believe it was.

#8 et was 8.496 I believe.

Seems to be more 62 Tempests coming out of the wood work, this one is piece of artwork.

Leaves with the wheels up and runs strong.

I think Tommy's best pass was 6.86 at 196 MPH. However he may have made another pass after I left.
