My son's boss' Caprice wagon swipes wall in Orlando
This is a video of my son's boss, Steve Morris swiping the wall at the 1000' mark at 190mph with his Caprice Wagon at Orlando last weekend.

...and he still does the quarter in 7.82. According to the Datalogger there was tire slippage all the way down the track, which obviously wasn't prepped very well. My son told me "We figured it would have trapped at about 206 MPH if he wouldn't have made such good friends with the wall."
Here's a pic of my son cleaning the car before this run.

His new motor, this year, is a big block Chevy with a 139mm F3 Procharger. It produced just under 3500hp on the engine dyno. Once they have it dialed in and can keep it off the wall, they are looking at getting into the sixes on drag radials. My son said there were a few spots where the wall wore the metal away, just cosmetic.
