KIL-351 did the greatest launch i've ever seen. It ran a 12 on that pass as he crossed the centre line on the back wheels.
The run befoore im not sure what he ran because we were all watching the other VL that had the NOS backfire which blew the plenum up and popped the bonnet outta skin clean off. But it was a low 9 im fairly sure.
Boostn didnt run today. Couldnt get off the trans brake by the looks of it, boost issues.
And johnny ran 10.2 at 130 something.

Yep KIL 351, best VL launch ive ever seen.
And the Karam cars plenum pealed back like one of those ring pull baked beans cans, felt bad for the guy, i think it was his first run too.

When I left, the Karam boys were trying to get the plenum back into shape and we-weld it. Not sure how they went but.
It was an almighty bang when it went but. Everything else is perfectly fine, there was only damage to plenum and bonnet.
Heres a shitty phone pic, but u get an idea.
PWR 747 was looking mint as usual too today! Woulda loved to of seen it run!
