    Bucky Austin had the numbers to run a 5.48 or 5.49 in the second round of the allstars. He split a pushrod as soon as he put it in high gear,the car shutoff right before the finish line, and still ran a 5.54. How does 3.59 to the 660 sound.We went 3.65 when we ran 5.551 in houston. You do the math

    I thought Bucky's car was on a pass when you look at the et and mph on the run. Do you happen to know what the mph was on that run to half track and what the 1000 foot was. I tried to call Bucky a couple times, but he has not returned my call.

    Here is Bucky's 5.54 pass which possibly would have been a 5.49
    rt .102 60ft .939 330ft 2.43 660 3.612/208.91 mph 1000ft 4.635 1/4mile 5.543 at only 235.60. His 660 was .03 quicker than Jay when he went 5.519 and he 1000 was .023 quicker (I think he was losing time by 1000)

    It may have been the first 5.40 pass.

    Also I have Stidhams run on the 265 pass. He went .877 from 1000 to the 1/4 and Jay went .862 in the same distance when he went 259.8 . It does not quite seem right, but maybe.
