7.89@89 Mph

My '60 was 2.1. Even the Bird beat me out of the hole. My car weighs 3200lbs. Problem is, I couldn't see my timing marks on the harmonic balancer because the dam lower water pump hose is right over the marks. I usually mark it with white out, but it was gone at the track. I started at 18 degrees intial I think, but now I'm not sure. Everyone said they could hear my engine "pick up midway down the track, and that it ran awesome after that. I'm just frustrated as I know it should do much better out of the hole. Everyone there seemed to have thought it would run at least a 7.4 if it would leave decently.
