Default Four speed toploader with 4:11s

How many of you fast guys have ever run a toploader down the 1/4 mile.

I'm pretty sure Marty White with his twin turbo 800+ hp small block Mustang still runs a top loader and last time I saw it run down the quarter it wheel spun the whole length

I've seen him at Willowbank raceway coming into the last corner sideways then smoke the rears the whole length of the straight. AWSOME

The best I ran was 13.1 @ 109mph, the new owner has ran 12.8 @ 112mph in the old girl. Both runs are with 15" rims.
