He had a cavalier that fliped over after the 8th.<br /><br />saw some cool cars run...saw a unibody Rx7 (looked almost stock, except a big wing) that ran 8.65 (13B), A Supra ran 7.8's and the turbonetics celica broke another record, ran 7.04 @ 202.<br /><br />I also saw to all motor first gen RX7's run 10's, I think one ran 10's and the other was 11's if I remember correct.<br /><br />Was a fun evening. I believe now that any car can be fast. I stopped counting the number of 11 and 12 second civics I saw. They were noisy as hell and annoying but they ran 11's and 12.
