I was there - it was a smooth, boring pass that looked kind of quick, and then the time came up and we all just sat there in awe. That car was a rocket but he was forever fighting the clutch learning curve. At the time Big Al from New York had run near 7.50 with a turbo 400 (either just over or just under, but a little quicker than Billy's best) and there was a healthy sense of competition to be the quickest V6 at that time, plus the auto/manual "controversy". Billy settled the "who's quickest" that day .
