I disagree Greg with the label of it being a 6.90 sec car.

Below it shows he made a 6.70 and 6.72 sec passes during some ver
y hot weather.

"Tom Bailey is a pretty tired guy right now. Tired and famous. Piloting the ex-ProRides “Sick Seconds” 1969 Chevy Camaro, Tom made history as the first racer to make five consecutive six-second passes during the 2013 edition of Hot Rod Magazine’s Drag Week.

On top of that, Tom posted the lowest elapsed time (6.70 seconds) and highest top speed (217 miles-per-hour) ever recorded during Drag Week competition, winning the Unlimited Class crown and earning the title “Quickest and Fastest Street Car in America”. Tom did all this while logging 1,000 highway miles driving Sick Seconds from track to track, often in 90-plus degree heat."


"Before this year’s event, the Drag Week ET record was 6.94 seconds; the top speed record was 212 miles-per-hour.

Tom obliterated the ET record the first day out, running a 6.72 in Bowling Green. Tom went back out Tuesday and broke the ET record again and reset the top speed mark with a 6.70/214 mile-per-hour pass in Indianapolis."
