    I didn't know when it was going to be on. The times are really not right anyway as they used a flag and a stopwatch.:)

    Actually i hit the rev limiter. But there times were way off anyway. My buddy in the 57 chevy runs mid 12.70's too and they had him at 13.38 I think The guy with the stop watch had a problem.:D
