Just caught this info from the web link below. I'm not sure if this is his personal best, but it's simply amazing that he's doing it on 209 Cubic inches!!!!

Congrats John & Marka!!!!

Congrats to both John and Marka!

According to Gallina's website>>> www.fastbuicks.com

He has run a best of 7.93 @178.63mph and it also says the motor is 207ci.... It is pretty awesome how he is running those times with such a little motor! HP per cubic inches I think Gallina's motor is the baddest V6 because we're talking about 1280hp (damn near 1300hp) from a 207ci motor

John and Marka do the Turbo Buick racing community a great justice by breaking and setting all of these records and for that I thank them

I salute anyone who has the stones to run 40 psi boost on ANY CAR. . .while the rest of us poor saps blow headgaskets on 12 second passes. Well, back to the garage . . .

FYI,

John never actually owned a 7 second timeslip before this weekend. That 7.93 was actually about an 8.02 that was run in Vegas and factored to 7.9x.

John really wanted the slip with the magic 7 on it, and nailed it here this past weekend and backed it up with an 8.03. Congrats to John and Marka! They are fantastic people and I look forward to seeing them in October at the Vegas event.

I think John mentioned he was running 48 psi of boost, and he launches with 38 psi!

Of course, that was after several beer so I may have those numbers slightly distorted

Awesome. They have my respect.

That would be my dream life!

It's nice to see great people continue to do great things. I wish him a few more 7 second slips in his future...

I must also add my congratulations!!!! I've known John and Marka for quite a number of years, and you won't meet a nicer couple of Buick folks anywhere!! They keep bugging me to move to Vegas
If it just weren't so crowded out there

It really is amazing to see them go faster each year, there has got to be a ton of work going on away from the track to keep progressing like they have. I especially liked it when Marka was spanking all the Stock Eliminator guys in the South East with her 11 second Hot Air car back in the late '90's.
