Bah, lookin at the hot rod website, they say "...Plimpton took the win with a 8.536-second e.t. at 163.06 mph in his ProCharger supercharged, 572ci Ford-powered '89 Thunderbird."

89 Tbird?  Ugh....WRONG!  The pic clearly shows a fox Tbird.  Thats sad when they cant even get the right BODY STYLE.  It's one thing if they said 87 (even I can't really tell the difference), but 89?

EDIT:  Here's a link to a video; shows the final rounds near the end.  Gotta love seein a fellow fox Tbird wipin away Chevies, etc left and right :D

That's awesome!

http://www.1320video.com has a photo gallery (and his filming is a ton more professional for when you want to buy the DVD).

Hopefully next year there will be a bunch of videos of me wiping the track with chebbies in my '88.

I got some pics around here of a good friends '88 TC all-motor car that runs low 8's.  See if I can find 'em.....

Yes, but he was driving a Chevy, so how bright could he be?  :hick:
 
That was an awesome video!! I've sent that link to a ton of guys already. Very nice to see the bow ties get put down. Thanks for sharing.

I was there and the T bird ran a 8.44 @ 173 MPH on  Fri night.
  The car was very clean. They were only running 18lbs of boost.
Said the car made around 1700 Flywheel HP.
