LMAO :-)
Bill I did not even see this post... It's not what it ran when it was a all out drag car but I think it's pretty good considering the brakes were hold it back. It ran 8.71 in the 1/8th, but I'll try to get some better times now the brakes are fixed lol :-)

Well new update on my 88 GSP. I spoke with the retired Fleet Manager for the GSP today. I mentioned my 88 and how I didn't know the unit # and how I'd found this 8893 written on the key and how I assumed it was my unit #... Well we all know about assuming:-) lol Well that was not a common practice for the GSP.nor did the high # of 8893 sound right to him either. He told me he personally wrote the #'s on the 88's and that it should still be there. So after arriving home I looked again... There was three stickers on core support. After looking a bit closer two were taped up and one R34 replacement decal was put on after front of core support had been resprayed. Well I peeled it of and what do I see but my elusive real unit #! 8301... I felt a little silly but releaved all at the same time. I'd always questioned my unit # being that high. 8893 would mean 893rd car bought in 88. Well now I know for certain it's there in plain site :-) but at least I don't have that nagin feeling of doubt in the back of my brain now lol... Now where did the 8893 engraving come from and what did it mean? Jones county maybe?

I'll try but it's been painted over and not sure how well it'll show up in pic but I'll do my best. Tried last night but maybe I'll have better results in natural daylight...
