MPH?

    I saw an 80's 4 door malibu (same brick type box!) at lebanon a few
years back.  The guy driving had to be 300+ lbs, was a pretty stout fella.
Different colored body panels, rust, thing was a real beater.  Had a full
cage inside, and a big block w/ a blower poking out the hood.  He staged up
and tore off a 9 sec pass @ 145+!  That mill was making a butt-load of
torque to hurl that heavy brick down the track, especially at 145+ through
the cones!
